BANREAS.—The London Joint-Stock Bank This Association Was been formed to consolidate and improve the Savings -Bank system ; to offer Kett, r interest than has hitherto been allowed ; facilities for unlimited deposit ; means of convenient Withdrawal, and perfect security to the Depozitor. The unpopularity of the present system, its acknowledged lose eUrity to Depo , itors, expense of management, and low rate of in tereat, are universally acknowledged: while in strong contrast are Presented the advantages of the new system of the National Savings- Association. The proof of the necessity which exists for this Association will be found in thefaot that there are no less than 483 places, vb ith More than 3,000 inhabitants each, that have not a Savings-Bank ; Co partial in operation is the present system. The Directors propose to supply this deficiency by the gradual establishment of branches : also to keep at the Dead Office a dupli cate of every account in the country ; to strike the balance at the nead Office every June and December, from the weekly returns of the branches of the Association ; and to exhibit the numbm•s of each Pass-book, with the balance due, as ascertained by such returns, every June and December in each Branch Bank. A iter July, 1867 they will cause returns of the Association, duly certified by the Audi tors, to be made in January and July, and a copy to be sent to every Shareholder.

STAMPED i)D• LATEST FROM AUSTRALIA?. We have received, via Singapore, advices from Sydney to the 6th June. The following is from the Sydney Mercantile Journal of June 2 : There has been a general want of animation since our last issue, caused, perhaps, by the many holidays and by the want of ad vices from England ; but we believe it is also attributable to the trade looking ahead to the dull business always done in the winter months, and the prospect of the possibility of a falling market should peaca be confirmed. Hence the generality of buyers are only laying in such stocks as they require for actual consumption, and there is a total absence of speculation. There is a general complaint amongst wholesale houses that there is no business doing, which they attribute to the fact that most traders are fully stocked for present wants. The orders for exports have also fallen off in a great me tsure, and many goods that have been forced into the markets have been placed at slightly reduced rates. Not withstanding this trivial depression there is no doubt whatever of our sound position, and the very absence of speculation and caution on the part of the dealers indi cates greater soundness, and is to be commended, as it was to the reckless speculation and injudicious abuse of credit that most of the recent depression and loss are attributable. If the state of the markets compels hold ers to retain their stocks, it is better that they remain in the hands of the importers than the dealers ; the money then is retained in the colony to fructify. Bat if the trade become heavily stocked, by purchasing upon credit for prospective demands, the bills would be melted and the funds remitted ; and there would possibly be a return of former difficulties and sacrifices to meet the engagements when at maturity, and this most likely in a depreciated market. The imports continue large, and we ara watching with some anxiety the gradually increasing stocks of rues chaolise i44:l4N§Lcannol„but regret to Erer9eive t hakgsr sanguine /lends on the other side are shipping in excess of our means of absorption, and without any regard to our limited population. We have no doubt, however, that there is a very large quantity of merchandise still remaining in the hands of import, r+, and that the country stores must also be quite full; as it is next to impossible for so many goods to have been consumed, and this we consider to have been the cause of the prevailirg dulness. Dry goods have been imported to the amount of five millions—Spirits, 1,293,267/. ; wine, 440,288/. ; boots and shoes, 613,273/. ; ale and beer, 805,207/. ; bread. stuffs, 1,081,867//. ; tea, 849.302/. ; sugar, 978,6581. ; butter and cheese, 157,669/. ; oilman's stores, 332,337/. The total amount of importations for the years 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, have been 1,200,436/., 6,312,397/., 5,981,068/ , 4,668,519/.

Seymour, Peacock, and Co., between London and Valparaiso, was launched yesterday afternoon from the yard of Mr. Langley, Ho therhitbe. The ship is of iron construction, with the usual bulkhead compartments, of 1,000 tons burthee, and is classed in the highest rate under the now classifi cation of Lloyds. Htr keel has been laid down on a new principle, so as to lessen the rolling of the 'camel, and other improvements have been introduced for the advantage of the ship and passengers. Her decks are roomy and airy. Her dimensions are :—Length of keel, 160 feet ; between perpendiculars, 168 feet ; length ofl quarter deck, 85 feet ; length of forecastle, 64 feet ; length over all, 191 feet ; beam, 28 feet ; depth of hold na main deck, 17 feet ; depth ( f quarterdeck, 21 feet 6 inches. 0 ving to the fineness of the day a large concourse of persona was as , embled to witness the launch. The ship sae profusely decorated with flags, as were the nume rous craft that were lying near. At three o'cloak (high water) Miss Peacock, daughter of one of the owners, named the ship "Chili," with the usual ceremony. The dog shores were then knocked away, and the vessel glided into the river amidst general cheering. It is expected that she will be able to take up her station on the line at the latter end of next month. , . , - ,0, •,,,,,, - . -"\ ~a. , 1_...' ~,..../.. , .. - . - , %, r- ••' - ' •-•' - •' 71:1'-:'?' ; ~.

The towns are better paved, swept, and lighted, and many an old, unsightly thatched house has been pulled down to make room for a respectable slated one ; yet there is elenndance of room for further improvement in all there respects. Few towns in Ireland have improved so much in appearance during the last ten years as Sligo. The morning I started was the first time this season I oh. served any serious decided symptoms of the notate disease ; and every day since the leaves and stalks seem to get worse. The disease is quite universal over the wle!e of my route; POMO fields are much worse than others. As yet there does not appear to be any great injury done to the tubers, except stopping further growth, which is a very serious loss, as the late kinds are not near maturity. The oat crop is likely to be very much better than last year, and many farmers expect it will be equal to, and some ray better than that of 1854, which was the best oat crop remembered in Ireland for 20 years. My own impression is tt:at generally it will set be quite equal to that of 1854. Some odd fields are thin and short, particu'arly on the dry hilts in the mid- • land counties. About Sligo and Ballyshannon the crop seemed to be extremely heavy. The wheat crop is also likely to be a very good one ; it is thicker on the ground than last year, but some farmers tell 'De it is not as well headed. Several persons who were reaping have told me that they do not observe much, if any, rust or mildew on their crop, so far. The late rains have greatly improved all kinds of green crops. The barley is generally thick on the ground, but the straw is f,hort, and it struck me to be mostly small in the head. The hue and cry raised against weeds by the roe - Nide is beginning to take effect already. I have observed the roadmen at work in seve. ral counties. I hope it may extend to the gentlemen farmers, and from them to the small farmers in all parts of Ireland. If farming societies would give premiums for the farms that had least weeds, it, would be of 'Volk- _ ,_, . , ._ _ . _ _ - ._. advantage." ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. The following interesting statement is extracted from the Cork Constitution, of Saturday : "Lying at anchor off Queenstown for the last few days may have been observed a small, unsightly, ill painted, rusty bottomed screw steamer, without one point of attraction about her, except the stars and stripes fluttering in the breeze. Yet that boat and some o f the officers she contains have been the world's wonder for a season, and have just now concluded a task which is the forerunner of an event more dreadful still. The Arctic was the ve,sel that wa< sent to rescue Dr. Kane, who had previously been sent to reicne Franklin. She was successful, and brought home Dr. Kane and his crew, who had been obliged to abandon his ship and search. She was then a light ship on the American coast. She is now the bearer of Lieutenant Strain, of Darien notoriety, and Captain Bsrriman, who has before, and now again, crossed from Newfoundland to take sound ings of the whole Atlanticfrorn St. John's to Valencia, with the view to ascertain the probable success with which a telegraphic cable may be laid between these points. The result is satisfactory. For some 50 or 60 miles from St. John's, and again on this side, is a bank v ar y; ng f rom 25 t o 20 fathoms. Between these there is a plateau nearly level, the bottom soft, composed of shells so fine that only the microscope can discover them, each shell per fect in its minute beauty, proving the absence of currents at the bottom, and, with due deference to Stephenson and others, the want of that vast pressure, which was to be so dreaded, and exhibiting at every point not only a cauacity, but the most perfect capacity, for the very use for which it is required. The whole apparatus for arriving at these facts is most perfect. Steam-power, separate from that of the ship, works the axle from which the sounding line is paid out.' Soundings have been taken to the depth of 27,000 fathoms. By a neat contrivance each sounding knows Lot only the depth, but the nature of the bottom, which is brought up in five quills, and the temperature of the water, the latter being given by the expanf ion or contraction of metallic spiral ribands placed round a centre pin, hooked at the top, and attached at bottom to a needle and indicator, the latter remaining fixed after the first has ceased to act, showing the exact variation between the surface and the bottom. Most careful drawings have been made by Mr. Van Den Berg (to whom has beea assigned the special post of draughtsman) of the soundings, show ing a profile of the bottom of the sea with the great est accuracy. There can be no doubt that tele graphic communications between Ireland and St. John's, a distance of 1,640 geographical miles, may be regarded as a certainty. It is in the hands.of a small American company, but, though small, if its mem bers possess but a tithe of the energy of their repres sent& ive, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who is also here making every inquiry, it will be enough to overcome every diffi culty. Captain Berriman laughs at laying' the cable. He asiss but. a ship large enough, and he wilt u n d er ` a k e to do it at 10 miles an hour right across. The company have already obtained the sole grant for erecting tele graphs through the whole of Newfoundland, and have already some 1,700 miles at work, or will have in a few days, which is in connection with the American lines. The difficulties and trials of temper in taking these soundings have been tremendous. Itep'atedly after pay iug out' tens of thou ands of fathoms of line, and getting all up within some GO or 80, it was snapped, and al! had to he dome again. S z and eight hours have been occupied in getting one sounding only, and these have been made nearly every half degree the whole way across. From the capta'n to the cabin boy, each has given his willing aid. No trouble was thought too much—no time too long ; each appeared to fe-1 the honour of his nation at stake, and proud in every way to advance the object in view. They have done their work well. Nature has granted all we could ask ; art will snob do its part, while nature, science and art, worked out by man's hand, will produce one great whole to benefit mankind." THE LATE RAILWAY FORGERIES. Sir Edward M‘Donnell, as chairman of the Great Southern and Western Railway, at the meeting held on Saturday, alluded to the forgeries of Knighting, the late confidential clerk of the corn. patty and now undergoing the penalty of his rogueries. Of the actual extent of his frauds no clear estimate has yet been made, but Sir Edward thinks that the sum of 25,0001. will fully cover all deficiencies. NE IV LIGHTHOUSE FOB THE B -~ An engineering work of consilerahle magnitule and some novelty in its mode of construction has lately been completed, under a contract w;th the Admiralty, by Messrs. Grissell, at their ironwoiks on the Regent's Canal, Horton, in the shape of a lighthouse, built wholly of cast iron, and intended to be erected on a dangerous rock situated near one of the Bahama group of islands in the \Veit Indies. The heignt of the tower, exclusive of a lege revolving lantern, 15 feet high, which surmounts it, is 124 feet ; its diameter is 25 feet at the base and 14 fret at the top; the total weight of metal used in its construction is about 300 tons, and the cost of the whole work is estimated at from 7,0001. to 8,0001: This is ex clusive of the expen-e of conveying it t its destination and of its erection there. It was begun in June, 1855, and finished towards the end of January last, with the exception of the interior fittings, which have since been completed. It has been erected with the same care and solidity on a spot on the wharf of the contractors as if that were its ultimate destination, and it were intended to last for ages, and it now towers up fur a time among the adjacent church spires, an additional metropolitan landmark. The whole building is divided into seven fijors or cornp:rtments eace 16 feet in height. naafi/fat, which is about 21 feet from the basement, az.d reached by an exterior iron stair of the same height from the ground, is fitted up as a kitch,m ; the second, including also a series of commodious fixtures, will be used as a sitting room ; the third as a bedroom, and the remaining storeys upwards are to be devoted to purposes connected with the mitt object of the structure—as a beacon to mariners navigating a perilous gulf in the Atlantic. A huge metal shaft, two feet in diameter, runs up the cen tre of the building, from its foundation to its summit, and from this, at intervals of 16 feet, strong iron girders radiate to the circumference, and, resting on the frame. work there equally ponderous and durable, serve to sup port the floors of each of the different chambers, and to knit together the exterior portions of the edifice with its centre throughout its whole height. The interior of nost of the apartments is lined with corrugated iron to diminish the beat of a tropical climate, and the whole building is pierced all round at short intervals with small glszoi loopholes, for the purposea of light immense c v n e s n; t lation. The lantern at the top encloses en n g2 l burners, revolving light, 15 feet in height, is red, and a.n t a e l a l c h o o f w t i h n e g m w s li t i r t o e ng li l g y ht i s n , te e n x s c ifi a thickly coated with concave reflectors, made of copper, P e intensified one,cb ° y a t3‘ . seriesvi h.icontai ni ng . silvCr.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1856. was admitted by the Tsars on their marriage, his consent being first asked by the prince. The ceretn,nial of these marriages was curiously illustrative of the superstitious character of the Russians of all grades in the 17th cen tury, mach of which still lingers in the provinces, and even in Moseaw, among the mercantile class, as well as among the peasants, who retain it in full force. The chief officials in the marriage ceremonies of the Tears were the Tisiateki, or commander of thousands, who had the direction of the fete ; and the Svakhi, or marriers, ladies who represented the professional matchmakers among the people : these and all the other officials were of the highest rank; The seats of the bride and bride groom were covered with 40 sable skins each, and 40 other skins were held in readiness to fan them ; and when the Tearevna, as the bride was called until her mar riage, entered the hall from her anart:nent, among her cortege were two Boyars, one bearing the wax candle of the Tsar, weighing usually 103 pounds ; the other that of the Tsarevna, weighing only 73 pounds. A silken curtain separated the seats of the bride and bridegroom, and after an archpriest had read prayers, the principal Svakha combed their heads, while a Secretary of State stood near her with a vessel of mead to wash the comb in. Hop seed, an emblem of fertility, was then scat tered by the Svakha on the heads of the Tsar and Tsar evua ; they were famed with the sable furs, the great candles were lighted, and the bridesman of the Tsar pre sented them with slices of cheese and of a sweet bread, which was also served to the guests. After this they went to the church, and the seats the bride and bride groom had occupied were covered with sable skins to preserve them from spells, - a nobleman remaining to watch them. Throughout the whole ceremony this dread of, and belief in, witchcraft, or the pos.sibility of mysterious poisoning, were predominant.

CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. SOLEMN ENTRY OF THE EMPEROR INTO MOSCO W. (From the Special Correspondent of the Daily News). MOSCOW, AuG. 29. The morning of the day fixed upon frr the solemn entry of the Emperor into Moscow was ushered in louring clouds and rain. About mid-day, however, the sun broke through, and the afternoon has been bright, and calculated to show off the gorgeous procession tau advantage. A little after mid-day a salvo of nine guns from a battery pasted opposite the Tchoudow Convent, fol lowed by a peal of bells from the Cathedral of the Assumption, gave the signal to all the bells of Moscow to begin jangling. Their deafening clang has con- tinued ever since, and only those who have wit- nessed can imagine the noise and vibration of the air produced by such a mass of tintinnabulary metal. As soon as the hurricane of clangour broke out, actors an .l spectators of all ranks and degrees hurried to their posts. At 34 p.m. the Imperial procession left the Petrovsky Palace. First came a Maitre de Police, with twelve mounted gensd'armes to clear the way. Tie Emperor was preceeded by his body guard in their magnificent uniforms, squadrons of Cossacks of the Black Sea and of the regiment of Guards, the representatives of the haute noblesse on horseback, all in uniform, the represen tatives of the Asiatic populations which acknowledge the sovereignty of Russia, with valets, lacqueys, and runners of the court. After this mixture of European and Oriental costumes came Masters of Ceremonies and others with their badges of office. After this train, in which European and Oriental finery were strangely min• gled, came Alexander Nicolaievitcb, on horseback, at tended by the Minister of his Household, the Minister of War, and his aides•de-camp. The Princes of the blond followed, all on horseback. A long train of splendiJ carriages came next in order, containing the Empress, the Empress Mother, the Grand Duchesses, and the Princess of Oldenburg, followed by their ladies of ho nour. Squadrons of Cuirassiers closed the procession. At 4 p.m. precisely a salvo of 71 guns announced that the Emperor was entering his ancient capital. The Mili tary Governor-General of Moscow received his Majesty at the entrance of the city, at the head of his employJe. The magistrates and the burghers received his Majesty at the entrance of the quarter called Zemlenoi Gored. The marshal and the nobility of the government of Mos cow received him at the entrance of the quarter called Bieloi-Gorod. The civil governor and the civil authori s of the city were stationed to receive hire at the gate of the Resurrection. Here a brief halt took place, durincr which the Emperor, the Empresses, and the Princes and Princesses of the blood dismounted and knelt before the image of Our Lady of Iberia. This cere mony over, the procession again moved onward ; wati received at the gate of the Saviour by the Commandant of Moscow and his staff; and in front of the Cathedral of the Assumption by the Directing Senate. All along the route of the procession the houses were decorated, and the clergy stationed at the gates of their respective churches with their images and crosses. The acclama tions of the assembled multitudes were enthusiastic, and distinctly heard above the din and clangour of the bells. The Emperor, the Empresses, the Princes, and the Princesses, descended from their horses and carriages in front of the Cathedral of the Assumption, at the stair which is called Krasnoe Kryltzl. Intelligence of this event was forthwith thundered forth by a salvo of 85 guns. The portion of the Imperial cortege which pre. ceded their Majesties kept on their way round the ca thedral, and such as had the entree entered it by the north gate. The officers of the Court completed the circle of the building, and stationed themselves in front of the south gate, to await the coming out of their Majesties. The Holy Synod and the functionaries of the cathedral met their Majesties at the Purvis, and preceded them into the church chanting the second can ticle for Palm-week. After kissing the images and re lics, their Majesties proceeded to the cathedrals of the Archangel Michael and the Annunciation, in both of which the ceremony of kissing the images and relics was gone through. In the cathedral of St. Michael they also prostrated themselves before the tombs of his Ma jesty's ancestors. On quitting the cathedrals their Majesties, accom panied by the court, walked to the Palace of the Krem lin. At its gate they were received by the court clergy with the cross and holy water. The Archbishop of Moscow here presented the Emperor with bread and , alt ; and immediately afterwards a salvo of 101 guns announced at 5 p.m. that the Imperial family had en tered the palace of their ancestors. The metallic hurricane from the innumerable churches still vibrates through the air and shakes the walls. At night the city is to be illuminated. THE JOURNEY FROM ST. PETERSBURG TO MOSCOW. MOSCOW, AUG. 21. I shall not soon forgot the fatigue and anxieties of the twenty-foar hours' journey by railway which has at last landed me safely, this day, in the holy and truly beauti ful city of Moscow. The run is at any time no mean achievement, but the trouble is tenfold increased at the present moment by the unexampled influx from all parts of the world of "distinguished foreigners," civilised and uncivilised, which is now overflowing the palaces, the inns, and the lodging-houses. When I entered the railway station at the top of the Neskoi, yesterday morning, I was remindel of London bridge on the Epsom morning, with this difference, that instead of sporting men, jockeys, and the metropolitan heliday folks, I found myself surrounded and almost overwhelmed by princes and mujiks, Circassians and Georgians, handsome Greeks and ugly Tartars, ladies in Parisian toilettes, and their bonnes in the national caf tan and coronet, Jews and Slovacks, Poles and Hun garians, priests and Levites ; in short, every variety of costume, colour, and odour that distinguish the varied races composing the great Russian nation. To do them justice, they were not half so unruly as the crowd to which I have just now compared them, but they w,re legion, and their luggage—such Itivage! —which was all passed through a window and weighed, and which seemed as if it would have required the Leviathan steam ship to supply the requisite accbmaiodation. Nineteen, twenty-five, even fifty packages were no unusual amount for a single passenger ; and then some of them as big as a sugar hogshead were hoisted up by sheer force of mujik muscle, and deposited composedly on the heads of those who by long struggling had secured an inside place for themselves and the'r little portmanteaus next the receiving window. It was a desperate case, the showers, even down teems and perfect torrents, with now sopritrheosgor of orthography), s G :, covered officer was bewildered by a few cabilistic words in his esr, and a corresponding cabalistic sign in the palm of his hand, had a wonderful effect in clearing his intellect and enabling him to select the correct carpet-bag with creditable acumen. Then there was the pass to be stamped, and the ticket to be paid for, and the place to be taken, the latter by no means an easy task, as the military officers and their ladies, who are privileged to enter everywhere and before everybody, had secured all the seats, not only for themselves, but for their smaller luggage, their Italian greyhounds, parrots, and railway wrappers. • However, at last we were fairly afloat, and trudging leisurely along our little journey of six hundred and seventy versts, at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. The first-class carriages, which are constructed on the American plan, are comfortable and even elegant, and the power of walking np and down, and occasionally stepping out on the little gallery at the end for a mouth ful of fresh air, very much diminishes the weariness passengers Russian generals en route for the of the almost interminable journey. We had as our a ß m u e s n sian countesses ditto for the balls, and fellow ww ia -i n and German doctors speculating on the pro bable effects of the dinners. In one corner of our ~ wag gon" sat a Circassian prince, some juvenile Schamyl perhaps, magnificently attired in his national dress, tastefully harmonised with the uniform of the Russian army. He was a remarkably fine-looking man, and seemed as happy and contented as if nothing had ever occurred to cause a difference of opinion between him and the Georgian Viceroy. He was on the best of terms with the Russian officers, and chat ted and smoked with them all day long. The country through which we passed was as uninte resting as could possibly be imagined. For the first one hundred versts it was bare and level as a steppe, without a single tree to break the monotony of the prospect. But as we neared Moscow, and left St Petersburg further be hind, the landscapebecame more mellow, clumps of tree., first appeared, then plantations, while tho op3o con,trY became tinted with the green of the meadow or the gol den hues of the corn-field. Now and then the fantastic monastery with eau flotilla l e l a h o o r f i z c l u n r , i oahns(llycom fortable farm-houses gave reatsuringindication of human habitation. Then we had little rivers to cross, over well constructed bridges, and one of greater pretensions, called, I think, the Nidska (I do not pledge myself to the structed barges bringing down corn from the Volga for the consumption of the capital. We had rain in light i and then a flash of lightning or a gleam of sunshine ; some regular tente m i u stoppages u a toto bour n, :n the ol4. o road, a:I:a giving y ary i n g einud lastlydurati sfon the nobles ample time for their teschi and the mujiksfor their darling vodka, You may depend upon it, the opportunity was not neglected, as at every station the refreshment room exhibited the most motley groups imaginable, while the waiters were embarrassed at once by the pressure of their duties and the scarcity ri change. Indeed, I cannot call to my mind a single instance in which these truly conscientious men being entrusted with a three -rouble note were enabled to get hack to the passenger who had entrusted it to him before he departure of the train. • At, I think, our sixth station, we were comforted by he agreeable intelligence that we must wait an hour rnd a half extra in order to allow the passage of a special ironvoi containing the Grand Duke Constantine and his uite. I was comforted under the delay by being en• taled to get an excellent view of his Imperial Highness, Nh o came down upon the platform and nodded to and ienatted with everybody about him. It was pleasing to see the confidence with which the humblest people came up quite close to him, and the off-hand friendly way in which he received their compliments. There were. no ealdiers, no butt-ends of muskets to keep off the common nerd, but everything was trusting, kindly, and without any affectation of condescension. I be ieve that in consequence of his identity of name with his uncle, and the way in which he has been mixed up with recent naval operations, he is looked upon in Eng !and as a very terrible fellow, both in appearauce and ivanners ; but nothing can be further from the reality. Ere is a tall, slight, well-made young man, with good features and a pleasant expression, and seems to be on the best terms with himself and every one about him. fie is, in short, the last man in the world whom from his appearance .1 should reckon dangerous or disagreeable. Besides this, he has a considerable re putation for wit and sarcastic humour, and many of iris sayings are in general circulation. I shall give you one sr two as specimens. To enable you to un ieis'and the first, I must premise that the Americans whose wonderful sysnpatJiy with Russia during the last war it was so diffienlitioNsiderstaed, have made edit iar excellent speculations in this country, amongst others he contract for keeping the Moscow Reilway in repair, ey which it is said they nett a clear profit of some 200,0001. a year. The Grand Duke, who is dissatisfied with this job, as well he may be, h a d l ate l y some die inguished friends on a visit, whom he handed over to his chamberlain to show them the sights of the capital. One day he asked that officer whether his friends had peen all the sights, and being answeied in the affirmative, said, laughing, "Then go and show them the American contract, which is decidedly the greatest curiosity that could be exhibited in any country." The second story Applies to his Imperial Highness's early days. He was, as is well known, appointed to the nominal command of the fleet when a child, but even at that early age was anxious to make it a reality. One day, when on board a man-of war, he promoted ar officer who pleased him, but the appointment was not o , nfirmed,while the young a d m i ra l was reproved. The next morning he appeared before the Emperor in full uniform and tendered hi s resigna tion, adding that he was no admiral if he could not pro mote whom he liked. It is needless to add that this youthful burst caused considerable amusement in the aighest quarter, and that the resignation was not ac cepted. But the Grand Duke has now passed on on his rapid journey, the regular train follo w i ng at a respectful distance, and at a pace which brought us to Moscow at noon to-day, after a journey of nearly 25 hours. I must confess that, on first entering, the modern and üburban appearance of the holy city disappointed me ; but a visit to the Kremlin and its neighbourhood, which I was not long in paying, restored and even strengthened all my foregone eonclusions. I shall take a future oppor tunity of paying a more lengthened visit, and writing a more careful acceunt of this extraordinary quarter ; but I could not resist the temptation of at once taking a glimpse at a place which from infancy I had been hear ing and reading about as one of the wonders of the, world. Accordingly I hurried off, plunged into the abyrinths of the Chinese city, where I was neatly de voured by the worthy denizens, citizens of this Eastern Petticoat-lane, and soon found myself in the centre of the " Beautiful Place," which certainly has a very fair claim to that appellation. The sound of hammers at tracted me to the still unfinished triumphal arch be which the Emperor is to enter the sacred precincts, and suddenly I found myself in presence of the great bell, which has been so accurately weighed, measured, and described over and over again. It is, in truth, a tre mendous casting, and if in sounding order would make a most sonorous report. The broken piece lies close beside it, and more than anything else enables one to form a just conception of the enormous size of the bell it self. Passing under the " Sacred gate," like a good Christian, hat in hand, I in a moment stood at the very grille of the Church of the Assumption, in which the great ceremonial is to take place. It has been closed some days to the public, but a good-natured deacon took pity on my curiosity, and politely invited me into the interior. What a scene of barbaric magnificence, his toric reminiscence, and political suggestiveness f Passing through a darkened vestibule I suddenly felt myself almest dazzled by a perfect blaze of gold and colour. The walls were every inch covered with frescoes and mosaics, in heavy gilt frames, and the great central pil lars that support the cupolas decorated in a similar man ner. Although the church is small, the loftiness of the ceiling gives it a most imposing appearance, and the vague indistinctness with which the comparative gloom enables you to take in the details produces in the mind a peculiar feeling of awe and reverence. As works of art, few would be bold enough to defend these elaborate decorations, but they are the signs of a sentiment, a power, and a policy, and, looked upon in that light, must always be objects of deep interest to the spectator. Greek priests were chanting their vespers in one corner, while carpenters were hammering away in another at the gorgeous estrade upon which the Emperor is to kneel while the metropolitan places the crown upon his head. Everything was resplendent with gold, and velvet, and ostrich feathers ; but a glance was all I was permitted to take, sufficient to convince me that the interior of the church will not accommodate more than about 500 per sons. ANCIENT CORONATION AND MARRIAGE CEREMONIES IN RUSSIA„ The chief interest attached to the official programme of the coronation of Moscow, arises from the circum stance that every word of that cautious document baying been carefully weighed, and every ceremonial having a peculiar significance, it may be considered as a sort of manifesto respecting the relative positions of the Cz tr and his peCiple. The sacred power of the monarch, and his absolute and uncontrolled power over and property in his subjtcts, are clearly indicated. He is the lord and autocrat of all the Ressias. In the triumphal entry into Moscow he is surrounded by a staff purely rnilitare, and it is a taking possession of the aucient capital of the empire. On his road the priests meet bins with bann •rp, crosses, and holy water ; and the whole population stands uncovered, as when some ultra holy relic passes in procession. The halt for the public adoration of the image of Our Lady of Iversk by all the linp,ri d family, is a profession of the orthodox faith for the edification of the multitude. At the threshold of his palace, after receiving the homage of the superior clergy, he is presented with bread and salt by the chief officers of his household, in the same manner as every proprietor is welcomed by his peasants on ar riving at his estate ; and thrJughOut the ceremony of the coronation, the two great (111:ers constantly in attendance upon him are the Minister of his House hold and the Minister of War ; —the civil power is throughout subservient to the army and to the church. But his position as the actual and positive head of the church is as clearly defined. The metropolitans do not arcend to the platform of the throne, but,'having re ceived the regalia from the proper officials, they hand them to the Emperor standing on the last step but one, and he places the crown on his head himself, holding his sovereignty from no earthly power, receiving its outward evidences only from the ministers of Ged. In taking the sacrament, it is administered is him within the sanctuary, and in the same form es to the priesthood, in acknowledgment of his priestly character ;_ but it was nut until the reign of Peter the Great that the subser viency of the clergy to the crown was thoroughly esta blished. The distinction between the present and past reletions of the hierarchy and the sovereign will be more clearly shown by describing the ancient ceremonial of the coro nation some 200 years ago, when the patriarci ■ were the chief councillors of the Tear, and by their signature gave full validity to his public acts, much in the same manner as the Sheik-eldslatn does to those of the Sultan of Turkey. The coronation was performed, as now, in the Ca -1 thedral of the Assu:npf ion in Moscow ; and the throne was elevated on an estrade with twelve steps, the seat of the patriarch being on the left of the throne, less magnificent than the latter, but like it, covered with velvet embroidered with gold. The Tsar Caine in pro cession from the palace through lines of Strelitzi, the only standing army of the time ; accompanied by all the nobles magnificently dressed in Glatt of gold, with rich jewels, of which many specimens are still to be seen in the 'Kremlin, and wearing caps of black fox skins. On arriving at the cathedral door the Prince bowed three times, and then turning to the patriarch, saluted him and asked his benediction. The patriarch descended from his throne, blessed the Tsar with the true cross, and after embracing each other they mounted together the steps leading to their places. It was the patriarch who invested the Tear with the Im perial robes, and who placed on his head the crown and in his hands the sceptre and orb, receiving them from an archbishop. Then after the nobles and the clergy had saluted the newly-created monarch, the patriarch took him by the Land and led him to the throne, and when he was seated made him an oration on his duties as a sovereign. After the consecration the patriarch anointed the Tsar, wiping off the oil with pieces o f t ow , w hi c h were afterwards burnt on the altar. Daring the visit to the churches, which concluded the ceremony, gold dust was sprinkled on the head of the Tsar on entering by the arch-priest, and on leaving by one of the grandees. It will be seen that a vast difference exists between this and the present ceremonial, the inferior position of the clergy being very remarkable ; and the Emperor, both by placing the crown on his own head, and also by crowning the Empress, who kneels before him, publicly proclaims himself the sole fountain of honour. poeition of- the petrihra I In like witnner the exalted T.HE TERRIBLE STORM' AT NEW ORLEANS. We published in The Sum yesterday an account of a most disastrous storm at and in the neighbourhood of New Orleaus. The following accounts have since come to hand : " New Orleans, August 15. Accounts from Last Island verify the sad story of yesterday. It has been positively ascertained that 188 persons have been lost. The corn, cotton, and sugar crops have been incalculably injured. The steamers Nautilus and Perseverance are several days over due, and it is feared something has happened to them. The steam-ship Texas has gone in search of them. The storm extended far up the river. At the government hospital, Baton Rouge, 14 inches of water fell between Sunday evening and Tuesday evening. The survivors at Last Island reached this city this morning. They estimate the loss of life at 200 ; 188 have already been counted as lost 3 many of the survivors are here. All from Last Island are badly wounded and bruised. The dead bodies at the island were plundered by a set of pirates who in habit it. The Perseverance (s) has just arrive], but nothing has yet been heard from the Nautilus. The Louisiana arrived at Galveston on the 14, picking up on the way the cabin door of the Nautilus, which vessel, it is now supposed, was lost during the late storm. Nothing definite has yet been heard from Caillon but there has undoubtedly been a great loss of life. It is reported that 30 bodies have been found on one end of the island. It is supposed that at least 310,000 in money in pockets fell into the hands of the pirates on Last Island and about $5,000 worth of baggage. The loss on this island is estimated at over $lOO,OOO. The banks of the river at Bayou Sera caved, in carrying away 300 residences. No lives were lost. Several vessels Were blown on shore at the mouth of the Mississippi. The telegraph lines have suffered severely. The loss at Caillon Island cannot fall far short of $60,000. Aug. 16.—1 t is now believed that the number of lives lost by the dreadful storm of Sunday and Monday last will reach fully 250. including men, women, and children, but mostly the former. At Last Island 190 dead bodies have been found, the sight of which is terrible. The total loss of property by this sudden and unlooked-for calamity is computed at 3500,000, while some place it a , . a still higher figure. The passengers by the steamer Star are believed to have been all rescued. Had the storm overtaken them in the night, however, the entire number, over 200, must have perished. NEW SaTiEME& The effect of the diminution of 700,0001. in the Bank bullion which took place in July, just after the inflation consequent on the reduction of the rate of discount to 4i per cent., has manifested it self during the past month in checking the manu facture of new companies. During the first half of the present year the sums demanded by projec tors amounted to an average of 3,900,0001. per mouth. In July the ardour increased, and the total proposed to be employed was 5,370,0001., the unfavourable feature of the proportion of foreign being in excess of home schemes having also be come more prominent.' In the past month the amount has fallen one-half, and, although it has reached 2,540,0001., which is at the rate of more than 30,000,0001. per annum, it assumes by com parison an appearance of great moderation. An nexed is the list : International Coasting Company 320,000 Timber Bending Patents Company lO ~000 New (Means and Jackson Railroad Bonds General Credit Company Bank of Toronto 500,0001„ of which 100,0001. is desired at present • Levant Mineral Company Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway (Missouii) 200,000 British Steam Fisheries Company . l-10,000 London Discount Company 1,003,000 Some of the above schemes will involve no drain on the money-market. One million of the amount is for the London Discount Company—a species of establishment which can beget no danger beyond that of stimulating undue speculation at some future period. The international Coasting and the British Steam Fisheries Cott - Tit - lies, which take 420,0001. ~erely propose facilities for developing our own commerce and productions, and the Timber Bending Company is for promoting a patent which, if it realises its promises, will operate in the direc tion of economy, rather than expenditure. The Le vant Mineral Company do not propose apparently any risk of money in exploring doubtful mines, but simply to work on a large scale certain formations of emery stone already yielding definite supplies. The only objectionab!e point, therefore, in the above list consists in the totals to be sent to Canada and the United States, whether, in addition to what is drawn forth by public advertisements and corn, panies, there is always a large private drain of British capital. The aggregate this month is 750,0001., which will all be drawn rapidly, and which is mostly proposed for railways in the South- Western States, of which the investors can know little beyond the representations they receive from interested agents. Meanwhile, not only are other borrowers daily arriving from the United states to obtain, on the first turn of the market, new ad vances on first, second, and third mortgage bonds of railroads in every imperfect stage of construc tion, but orders are being sent hence for direct purchases, which have already, according to the last New York advices, operated unfavourably on the rate of exchange, and checked those remittances of bullion on which we must partly rely to meet our requirements for the Continent and China.— Times City A) tide. EXETER AND EXMOUTH RAILWAT.—Tho half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Globe Hotel, Exmouth, on Saturday; the chairman of the company, Mr. J. H. Walker, presiding. The re port of the directors stated that by the zealous co-opera tion of the committee of shareholders, such additional subscriptions to the share capital has been secured as, added to the value of the property offered to be taken by the owners either in shares or as a rent-charge, amounted to 40,0001., being the condition on which the additional subscriptions were offered. With this liberal support the directors did not hesitate to declare their intention of immediately taking the necessary steps to purchase the land, and enter on the constructi of the line. Negotiations had been re-opened with thF Bristol and Exeter and South Devon Railway Companies, but before any agreement was concluded, the terms and con ditions would be submitted to the shareholders. There was nothing in this ',negotiation to cause any delay in the construction of the line. The report having been adopted, the proceedings terminated. HAMPSTEAD AND CITY JUNCTION RAILWAY.—The works on this line, intended to communicate direct be tween Hampstead and the centre of the City, are pro• ceeding night and day. The act was granted in 1853, and the greater portion of the laud and property required has been contracted for and purchased, and another act was obtained in the session just passed extending the time for the completion of the works until four years from the date of the original act in 1855, so that the Company have not much time to lose in carrying the un dertaking to completion. •
