BOSTON.

The Boston Guardian, writing on the fall of Sebas-
topol, says :—"On the ramparts of Sebastopol the
standards of England, France, and Turkey are now
planted, and their colours float over the vanquished
walls. Who can calculate the changes about to be
effected throughout the nations of the earth? Civilisa-
tion, without the diffusion of vice ; Liberty, without
anarchy ; Government, without tyranny ; Christianity,
without priestcraft : these inestimable blessings may be
on the eve of a glorious and eternal dawning."

ABERDEEN AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
The excitement of the public mind with respect to
the war has been raised to fever heat by the receipt of
the intelligence of the battle in the Crimea and the re-
ported fall of Sebastopol.

The interest felt in the subject was strikingly displayed
in Aberdeen on Sunday. The news of the important
arrival spread like wildfire. Nowhere was the intelli-
gence received with greater interest than at Huntly.
The news reached that town on Monday forenoon and
was received with the liveliest excitement. A great
demonstration was forthwith made by the ringing of
the bells of the Established and Roman Catholic churches
and of the Gordon schools, and for a time nothing was
to be seen but groups of parties everywhere in the
streets discussing the important intelligence.—Bani-
shire Journal.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON LOUGH ERNE.—A few days ago,
as Arthur D'Arcy, fifth son of William D'Arcy, Esq.,
Necarn Castle, was sailing from home to his brother-in-
law's to Castle Caldwell, in his yacht the Eagle, the wind'
blowing strong, he lay to, for the purpose of taking in
another reef, when a squall came on and upset her, more
than two miles from any shore. Mr. D'Arcy and a sailor
boy swam to a boat attached to the yacht, and were
saved, but, unfortunately, three others were drowned,
supposed to be in the cabin—Oliver, the sailor ; Samuel
Moor, a builder ; and a servant boy named Graham.
Neither yacht nor any of the three men were seen by
Mr. D'Arcy or young Oliver when they reached the row
boat. About half-past six the accident happened.
GENERAL BODlSCO.—General de Bodisco has written
a letter to the Courrier de l'Eure, relative to a conver-
sation in which he is represented by the Salut Public of
Lyons as having made some observations relative to the
defence of Bomarsund and the siege of Sebastopol. " I
deny formally," says the general in his letter, "that I
madeuse ofany such language. The details which have been
published have been invented by the writer, and do more
honour to his imagination than to his exactitude. I have
several times said, and I do not hesitate to again declare
it, that the guns of the allied fleets carried twice as far
as those of Bomarsund. I have expressed my conviction
of having resisted as long as possible ; but the name of
Prince Paskiewitch was never once mentioned by me.
I hive never seen the fortress of Sebastopol, and if I
had hazarded the observations attributed to me, I should
have merited, in speaking of what I knew nothing, to
become the correspondent of the Salut Public."
GRIEFS OF BOYHOOD.—God have mercy on the boy
who learns to grieve early. Condemn it as a senti-
ment, if you will ; talk as you will of the fearlessness
and strength of the boy's heart, yet there belongs to
it many tenderly strung chords of affection, which give
forth low and gentle music, that consoles and ripens
the ear for all the harmonies of life. These chords
a little rude or unnatural tension will break, and break
for ever. Watch your boy, then, if so be he will bear
the strain ; try his nature if it be rude and delicate ; and
if delicate, in God's name do not, as you value your
peace and his, breed a harsh spirit in him, that shall take
pride in subjugating and forgetting the delicacy and
winless of the Auer affections.
