MOSCOW, AUG. 29. The morning of the day fixed upon for the solemn entry of the Emperor into Moscow was ushered in b 3 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 to 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 spectators of all ranks and degrees hurried to their posts. At 34 p m. the Imperial procession left the Petroveky Palace. First came a Maitre de Police, with twelve mounted gensd'armes to clear the way. The 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 runt - I - Cis of the court. After this mixture of European aid 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 blood followed, all on horseback. A long train of splendid carriages came next in order, containing the Empress, the Empress Mother, the Grand Duchesses, and tLe Princees 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 Mil•- tary Governor-General of Moscow received his Majesty at the entrance of the city, at the head of his employee. 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 ti: s of the city were stationed to receive him at the gate of the Resurrection. Here a brief halt took place, during 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 ; was 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 Kryltzo. 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 Krein- lie. At its gate they were received by the court clergy with the cross and holy water. The Archbishop cf Moscow here presented the Emperor with bread and salt ; 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 walk At night the city is to be illuminated. THE JOURNEY FROM ST. PETERSBURG TO MOSCOW. MOSCOW, AUG. 21. I shall not soon forgo* the fatigue and anxieties of the twenty-four 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 w-Jrld 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 remindei of London bridge on the Epsom morning, with this difference, that instead of sporting men, jockeys, and the metropolitan holiday folke, 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 luggage! —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 accommodation. 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 uaujik muscle, and deposited composedly en the heads of those who by long struggling had secured an inside place for themselves and their little portmanteaus next the receiving window. It. was a de9perate case, the officer was bewildered by a few cabilistic words in his ear, 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 aeatii, not only for theniselvee, 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 lip 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 of the almost interminable journey. W e had as our fellow-passengers Russian generals en route for the review, Russian countesses ditto for the balls, and Russian and German doctors speculating en the pro bable effects of the dinners. In one corner of our " waggon" sat a Circassian prince, some juvenile Schatnyl perhaps, magnificently attired in his national dew, tastefully harmonised with the uniform of the Russian army. He was a remarkably fine-leaking man, and seemed as happy and contented as if nothing had ever occurred to cause a difference of . o op n if t i h io e n b between r h m i s rn w a i t t i h d the e GReuosrsgLitann VoffilcCeerzaililccva lichat s ted and smoked with them all day long. The country through which we passel was as u❑inte resting ns 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 cf the prospect. But as we neared Moscow, and left St Petersburg further be hind, the landscape became more mellow, clumps of trees first appeared, then plantations, while the open cout.try became tinted with the green of the meadow or the gol den hues of the corn-field. New and then the fantastic spires of a Greek monastery cut the horizon, and com fortable farm-houses gave rea,osurinEr indication of human habitation. Then we had little rivers to cro-e, over well constructed bridges, and one of greater pretensions, called, I think, the Nidska(l do not pledge myself to the orthography), covered with a flotilla of curiously con structed barges bringing down corn from the Volga foi the consumption of the capital. We had rain in light showers, even down teems and perfect torrents, with now and then a flAsh of lightning or a gleam of sunshine ; and lastly some regular stoppages on the road, varyin3 in duration from ten minutes to two hours, and giving z ( - LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, Si , PI EMBER 2, 1856 -he nobles ample time for their teschi and the mujdes for 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 enaginable, while the waiters were embarrassed at once by the pressure of their duties and the scarcity )1 change. Indeed, I cannot ca'l to my mind a single inetarice in which these truly conscientious men being :ntrusted with a three -rouble note were enabled to get back to the passenger who had entrusted it to him before :he departure of the train. At, I think, our sixth cation, we were comforted by the agreeable intelligence that we must wait an hour and a half extra in order to allow the passage of a special convoi containing the Grand Duke Constantine and his -Elite. I was comforted under the delay by being en -shied to get an excellent view of his Imperial Highness, who came down upon the platform and nodded to and , ;hatted with everybody about him. It was pleasing to see the confidence with which the humblest people came up quire dose to him, and the off-hand friendly way in which he received their compliments. There were no soldiers, no butt-ends of mu,kets to keep off the common herd, 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 m on in Eng !and as a very terrible fellow, both in appearance and manners ; but nothing can be further from the reality. tie , 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. Ele is, in short, the last man in the - world whom from his appearance I should reckon dangerous or lisagreeable. Besides this, Whits a considerable re putation for wit., and earceesaite' humour, and many of pis sayiege are in general circulation. I shall give you one cr two as specimens. To enale!e you to un leistand the first, I must premise that the Americans whose wonderful sympathy with Russia during the last war it was so difficult to underetand, have made several excellent speculations in this country, amongst others he contract for keeping the Moscow Railway in repair, by 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, had lately some dis tinguished friends on a visit, whom be handed over to his chamberlain to show them the sights of the capital. One day he asked that officer whether his friends had seen all the sigbts, and being answered 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." T he 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 chi!d, but even at that early age was anxious to make it a reality. One day, when on board a man-of war, he promoted an officer who pleased him, but the appointment was not confirmed, while the young admiral was reproved. The next morning he appeared before the Emperor in fuli uniform and tendered his 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 highest quarter, and that the resignation was not ac cepted. But the Grand Duke has now passed _on on his rapid j Jurney, the regular train following 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 suburban 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 conclusions. I shall take a future oppor tunity of paying a more lengthened visit, and writing a more careful account 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 labyrinths of the Chinese city, where I was nearly 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 agood-natared deacon took pity on my curiosity, and politely invited me into the interior. What a scene of haibettio magnificeuce, his toric reminiscence, and political suggestiveness f Passing through a darkened vestibule I suddenly felt myself almost dazzled by a perfect blase of gold and colour. The walls were every inch covered with frescoes and mosaic., 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 ORLEANS. 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 CERENIONIES 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 having been car , fully weighed, and every ceremonial having a peculiar significance, it may be considered as a sort of manifesto respecting the relative positions of the Cz it and his people. The sacred power of the monarch, and Lis absolute and uncontrolled power over and property in his subject,, are clearly indicated. He is the lord and autocrat of all the Res.sias. In the t:iumpbal entry into Moscow he is surrounded by a staff purely militarr, and it is a taking possession of the ancient capital of the empire. On his road the priests meet hint with banners, 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 I.versk by all the Impsrial family, is a profession of the orthodox fa!th for the edification of the multitude. At the threshold of his palace, after receiving the homage of the superior clergy, h e 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 thrtughout' the ceremony of the coronation, the two great & filers constantly in attendance upon him are the Mini-ter of his House hold and the Minister of War ;—the civil power is thr.oighout, subservient to the army and to the church. But hi position as the actual and positive head of the church is as clearly defined. The metropolitans do not ascend to the platform of the throne, but, havin g 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 eutwa:.d evidences only from the ministers of God. Li taking the sacrament, it is administered to him within the sanctuary, and iot he same form as to the priesthood, in acknowledgment of his priestly character ; but it was not 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 relations of the hierarchy and the sovereign will be more clearly shown by describing the ancient ceremonial of the coro nationwhen the patriari a were the some 200 years sir, chief councillors of the Tear, and by their signature gave full validity to hii public acts, much in the same manner as the Sheik-ul Islam does to those of the Sultan of Turkey. The coronation was performed, as now, in the Ca thedral of the Assump' ion in 111uscow ; an d the throne was elevated on an estrade with twelve steps, the seat of the patriarch being on the left of the thr one , l ess magnificent than the latter, but liko it, Covered with velvet embroidered with geld- The Tear came in pro cession from the pa'acc through lines of Strolitz;, the only standing army of the time accompanied by all the boblts magnificently dressed in s l oth of gold, with rich jewels, of which many speci mens are still to be seen in the Kremlin, and wear i ng caps of black fox skins. On arriving at the cathedral door the Prieee bowed three tunes, and then turning to the pal riarcb, 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, t o t h e i r places. It was the patriarch who invested the rear with the 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 bad saluted the newly-created monarch, the patriarch took him by the band and led him to the throne, and when he was stated made him an oration on his duties as a sovereign. After the consecration the pat r i arch anointed the Tear, wiping off the oil with pieces of tow, which .mere a' terwards burnt on the altar. Daring the visit to the churches, which concluded the ceremony, gold dust was spiinkled on the head of the Tsar on entering by the arch-priest, and ou 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 . befor e hi m , pu bli c l y proclaims himself the solo fountain of honou r . In like planter the exalted position of the patriarch was admitted by the Tsars on their marriage, his consent being first wired by the prince. The ceremonial of these marriages was curiously illustrati ve o f th e superstitious character of the Russians of all grades in the 17th cen tury, mach of which still lingers in the provinces, and even in Moscow, 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 Tsars were the Tisiatski, 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 'rsarevna, as the bride was called until her mar riage, entered the hall from her apartment, among her cortege were two Boyars, one hearing the wax candle of the Tsar, weighing usually 103 pounds ; the other that of the Tearevna, weighing only 78 pounds. A silken curtain separated the seats of the bride and bridegroom, and after an archpriest bad read prayers, the principal Svakha combed their beads, 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 evna ; they were fanred with the sable fur=, the great candles were lighted, and the bridesman of the Tsar pre sented them with slices of cheese and of a sweet l.read, which W 33 al's) served to the guests. After this they went to the church, and the seats the bride and bride groom bad occupied were covered with sable skins to preserve them from spells, a nebleman remaining to watch them. Throughout the whole ceremony this dread of, and belief in, witchcraft , or the passibility of mysterious poitioning, were predominant. The horse on which the Tsar rode to the church was first mounted by a noble to remove the effect of any spell that might have been cast in the animal, or danger concealed in the saddle ; and as soon as the prince dismounted, his seat was again occu pied by the same officer. Similar precautions were taken with the vehicle in which the T,arevna rode. Many of the ceremonies used in these imperial mar riages were also performed at those of the grandees, even to the days of Peter the Great ; but the revolution he effected in many of the customs and habits of the Rus sians was carried still further by his successors, who by intermarriage bad more of the German element in their characters, until the marriage was shorn, except in the far interior and among the lower orders, of all traces of the strangely superstitious feelings which pervaded all classes, from the throne to the hovel, at the period of which we have been writing. TILE TERRIBLE STORM AT NEW Wo published in The Sun yesterday an account of a most disastrous storm at and in the neighbourhood of New Orleans; The following accounts have since come to band : " New Orleans, August 15. —Accounts from Last Island verify the sad story of yesterday. IG has been positively ascertained that 188 persons have been lost. The corn, cotton, and sugar crops have been incalculably injured. The steamers Naatilua 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 r►ver. At the government hospital, Baton Rouge, 14 inches of water fell between Sunday evening and Tuesday evening. The survivors at Las6Tsland reached this city this morning. They estimatT the loss of life at 200 ; 188 have already been counted as lost I many of the survivors are here. All from Last Island are badly woun led and bruised. The dead bodies at the island were plundered by a set of pirates who in habit it. The Perseverance (a) has just arrived,• 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 Island, 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 $lO,OOO 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 theriver at Bayou Sera caved, in carrying away 800 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-lor calamity is computed at $500,000, while some place it at 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. _ , .... .

During the first half of the present year the sums demanded by projec tors amounted to an average of 3,900,0001. per month. Iu 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 New Orleans and Jackson Railroad Bonds General Credit Company Bank of Toronto 500,0001„ of which 100,0001. is desired at present lOO,OOO Levant Mineral Company Hannibal and St. Joseph Railway (iYlissoui i) 200,000 British Steam Fisheries Company London Discount Company 1,009,000 Some of the above schemes will involve no drain on the money-market. One million of the amount is for tho 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 Fisheri e s C om p an i es , which take 420,0001. aierely 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. Tho 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 objectionable 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 com 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 iu 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 ily 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 i, 7 ity AI tide. EXETER AND EXMOUTH RAILWAY.—The 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. If. 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.charg,e, amounted to 40,0001., being the condition oil 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 construction of the line. Negotiations had been re-opened with tht 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 lat d 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 tite date of the original act in 1853, so that the company have not much time to lose in carrying the un dertaking to completion. itit+ [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. LATEST FROM AUSTRALIA. We have received, via Singapore, advices from Sydney to the Gth 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 ►inter mouths, 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 raessure, 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 iadi cotes 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 bands of the importers than the dealers ; the money then is retained in the colony to fructify. But 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 depr, elated market. The imports continue large, and we ars watching with some anxiety the gradually increasing stocks of mer chandise ; and we cannot but regret to perceive that our sanguine friends 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 4, 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 prevailing dulness. Dry goods have been imported to the amount of five millions—Spirits, 1,293,2671. ; wine, 440,2831. ; boots and shoes 613,273/. ; ale and beer, 805,2071. ; bread stuffs, 1,08i,86711. ; tea, 849,302/. ; sugar, 978,6581. ; butter and cheese, 157,6691. ; oilman's stores, 332,3371. The total amount of importations for the years 1852, 1853, 1854, 185 r, have been 1,200,4361., 6,312,3971., 5,981,0681., 4,668,5191. The imports for the present year will doubtless be in excess of last, as they already amount to upwards of two millions The following are the leading quotations of the Price Cur rent . IMPORTS.

LAUNCH OF THE CHILI, ONE OF THE NEW LINE OF LONDON ANO VALPARAISO STEAMERS.—The first ship of the new line of auxiliary screw clipper packets about to be established by Me , srs. Seymour, Peacock, and Co., between London and Valparaiso, was launched yesterday afternoon from the yard of Mr. Langley, Ro therbithe. The ship is of iron construction, with the usual bulkhead compartments, of 1,000 tons burthen, and is classed in the highest rate under the new classifi cation of Lloyds. Her keel has been laid down on a new principle, so as to lessen the rolling of the vessel, 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, 163 feet ; length of quarter deck, 85 feet ; length of forecastle, 64 feet ; length over all, 191 feet ; beam, 28 feet ; depth of ho'd ~n main deck, 17 feet; depth of quarterdeck, 21 feet 6 inches. 0 ring to the fineness of the day a large concour , e of persona was assembled to witness the launch. The ship was profusely decorated with- flags, as were the nume rous craft that were lying near. At three o'clock (hie 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 op her station on the exp ected at the latter end of next month. ~~cf= IRELAND; DUBLIN, M HARVEST PROSPECTS. The result of an annual autumnal tour through the north-western counties is thus stated by Mr. John Lamb, the Quaker correspondent of the Belfast Whig:— " There is no doubt that our country is rapidly im• proving. The people are better clad and better fed. Th• country is ranch better cultivated than it was a dozen years ago. The gaols are nearly empty, and the poorhouses not half filled ; some of the masters complain that they cannot muster as much :healthy labour as will cultivate the gardens and grounds roun.t the workhouses. The towns are better paved, swept, arid lighted, and many an old, unsightly thatched house has been pulled down to make room for a respectable slated one ; yet there is abundance of room for furtber improvement in all therm 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 ob served any serious decided symptoms of the potato disease ; and every day ince the leaves and stalkky seem to get worse. The disease is quite universal over the wliele of my route; some fields are much worse than others. As yet there does not appear to be any great injury done to the tubers, except , topping further growth, which is a very serious loss, as the late kinds aro not near maturity. The oat crop is likely to be ♦ery much better than iss.t year, and many farmers expect it will be equal to, and some say better than that of 1854, which was the best oat crop remembered in Ireland for 20 years. My own impression is teat generally it will not be quite equal to that of 1854. Some odd fields are thin and short, particularly on the dry hills in the mid land counties. About Sligo and Ballysbannon 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 tban la-t year, but some farmers tell me it is not as well headed. Several persons who were reaping have told me that they do not observe much, iranY, rest or mildew on their crop, so far. The late rains_ hale greatly improved all ki n d s o f green crops. The barley is generally thick on the ground, but the straw is short, and it struck me to be mostly small in the head. The hue and cry raised against weeds by the roadside is beginniag-ta-take effect already. I have observed the roadmen at work in seve ral counties. I hope it may ex'end to the gentlemen farmers, and from them to the small farmers in all parts of Ireland. It farming societies would give premiums for the farms that Lad least weeds, it would be of great advantage," ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION WITH AMERI@A. 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 vessel that was sent to rescue Dr. Kane, who bad previously been sent to rescue Franklin. She was successful, and brought home Dr. Kane and his crew, who had been obliged to abandon his ship and search. Sho was then a light ship on the American coast. She is now the bearer of Lieutenant Strain, of Darien notoriety, and Captain Berriman, who has before, and now again, crossed fro m N ew f oun dl an d t o t a k e sound ings of the wholeAtlanticfrom St. John's to Valencia, with the view to ascertain the probable success with which a telegraphic cable may he laid between these points. The result is satisfactory. For some 50 or 60 miles from St. John's, and again on this sid e , i sa b an k varying train 25 to 20 fathoms. Between these thera 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 capacity, but the mast perfect capacity, for the very use f which it is required. T.e 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 Vie 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 th, expansion or contraction of metallic spiral Tiband; placed 'round a centre pin, booked at 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 been 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 Irehind 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 repre senta ive, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who is also here making every inquiry, it will be enough to overcome every diffi culty. Captain B.3rriman laughs at laying the cable. He asks but a ship lar ge enoug h, an d h e w ill un d ertake to do it at 10 wiles 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. Toe difficulties and trials of temper in taking these soundings have been tremendous. Repeatedly after g out' tens of thouqtrris of fathoms of line, and gettin all up within some 60 or 80, it was snapped, and al! had to be dove again. S x and eight hours have been occupied in getting one, rounding only, and these have been made nearly every half degree the whole way across. From the captan to the cabin boy, each has given his willing aid. No trouble was thought too much—no time too long ; each appeared to feel the honot.r 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 soon 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 Ml:Millen, 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 com pany 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. HEW LIGHTHOUSE FOR TUE B 1114,11A5. An engineerkg work of considerable magnitude and some novelty in its mode of construction has lately been completed, under a contract with the Admiralty, by Messrs. Grissell, at their ironworks on the Regent's Canal, H. , xton, in the shape of a lighthe use, built wholly of cast iron, and intended to be erected on a dangerous rock situated near one ef the Bahama group of islands in the West Indies. The height of the tower, exclusive of a lage revolving lantern, 15 feethigle which surmounts it, is 124 lent ; its diameter is 25 feet at the base and 14 feet at the top ; the total weight of metal used in its con.truction 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 expense of conveying it to 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 for a time among the adjacent church spires, an additional metropolitan landmark. The whole buflding is divided into seven floors or compartments, eace 16 feet in height. Th e fi rs t, which is about 24 feet from the basement, ard reached by an exterior iron stair of the same height from the ground, is fitted up as a kitchen ; the seoond, including also a Belies of commodious fixtures, will be used as a sitting room ; the third as a bedroom, and the remaining storeys upward s are t o b e d evoted to purposes connected with the main object of the structure—as a beacon to mariners navigating a perilous gulf in the Atlantic. A. huge metal shaft, two feet in diameter, tuns 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 chambere, and to knit together the exterior portions of the edifice with its centre throughout its whole height. The interior of most of the apartments is lined with corrugated iron to diminish the heat of a tropical climate, and 'the whole building is pierced all round at short intervals with small elazel loopholes, for the purposes of light and yen. t lotion. The lantern at the top encinees an immense revolving light, 15 feet in height, containing 21 . b e u d rn a er n s a all showing white lights, except ono, each of them strongly intensified by which is l o s t' brilliant r tahis?sekciyoncsotratutewditohf inehththink. concave reflectors, made of copper, thickly The framework of the lantern . durability, gun and glazed with the principle n 1) by ilT ac o inu ls rY o o r n l6 hours at a w w i it h h aplvaiteewatloastshefigver*sttehpsoossf a b n o The revolver is wound of an ordinary clock, and well of Long•scre, who has had great stretch.

Grissell's has been exec'lted under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Sheaves, th e foreman of engineers there. The exterior of the tower consists of 155 cast iron plates, each weighing from two tons to 15 cwt., and made to fit each other with the greatest nicety. The lighthouse will eventually be fixed on the Great Isaac's Rock, on ti:e Bahama Bank,—a , iangerous shoal, situated in the Straits of Florida, be tween the Island of Bermuda and the Ha vannah .It is described as a desolate epos, wholly uninhabited, about two wiles long and half a mile in breatith, with scarcely Any vegetation, destitute of fresh water, at certain sea' ..ons wholly covered by the sea, and for about three months of the year altogether uospproachable by ships, by which means alone provisions can be conveyed to the seven or eight. men who will be employed to keep the light burning in this lonely tower.
