we're to rate herself, after similar manner
instead of naming thousand vessels Of war
she might name treble the number. The
population OF Turkey is about 10000, 900;
but in certain portions of her territory ev-
ery man is a soldier when called upon and
hence the fact, that on any serious menace
she would muster million of men with
less difficulty than any other nation iu Eu-
rope. The greatest danger to which she
l. subject is mutiny and characterization a
Sultan'S head is cut of',and door is open
ed for negotiation! The population Of
France cannot be quoted higher than about
S3,OOO,OOO, including her colonies, as we
have those of Russia; and her army in "a
time ofwar at $4,000. Austria gives her
war establishment of troops rs high rs $780,
900; and Prussia 100000. The popula-
ton OF the world, under the dominion of
England, is not less than lac, 100000 be-
ing nearly equal to that which is under the
sway of all the other powers Of Europe,vet
cur war establishment OF troops, including
the militia, would not reach 100000 men.
The immense difference between moral q
physical. force, in Governments and in ar
mics, is here singularly illustrated. We OBJ
serve that some Of our contemporaries have
speculated on a coalition between England,
Austria, Prussia and Turkey-against Rus
sia and France. Nothing could be more
improbable. Russia could annihllate Prus-
STA in a single cam pagn; the latter has no
natural allies she has grown up out of the
excise of other states; and her downfall
ho
pathising in her fate. Austria would be
glad to round her empire with Bosnia and
Serva but she would be weaker then,
with Russia as neighbor, than she is at
present. The Emperor Nicholas with the
councils of old Ca,harine around him well
knows how the land lies; he will make
nice of no means that shall give him the
Bosphorus, Constantinople, and the great
keep of the Mediterranean he will quit
his allies, whoever they may be, to pick &
choose for the remainder; and hence the
fact that the course of his policy will excite
less jealousy with any other power than
with England. There is one hope that we
may entertain: viz. that Russia will fail to
conciliate Austria. The Emperor Fran
els is wary and cod-bIooded politician
he knows that with the Sultan as a neigh
Dor he is safe; he requires no military line
against them; he is jealous of all the three
remaining powers that skirt his empire
and he knows his present strength in rela-
tion thereto. 1t is as remarkable as true,
that for prompt, immediate, and effective
service, with land force, Austria is the
most powerful country in the world. She
can send into the field at almost any time,
near half a million Of fighting men. without
reckoning her Landwehr. They are thus
quoted on good authority:

BLACKSTONE CANAL,

The time when this great work will be COM
pleted, and the public put in possession of the
advantages to be derived from its successful CD.
Grafton, is fast drawing to hand The excava.
Vatlon yet remaining to be done is very trifling
in amount, except in two places; and, at those,
few weeks will BIO sufficient to complete it.
The greatest job now remaining to be done is
the hanging of the lock gates on this end of the
canal. A considerable force we understand is
now engaged in hanging them, and we sincere.
iy hope that the contractor will complete his
work In season, so that the navigation may not
be delayed through his means. Yet we find
that an impression to the contrary is very prev
alent. Ten miles of the lower end of the canal
is now navigable, and it is expected to be made
passable for boats to Uxbridge, twenty-five
miles, in few weeks
An elegant passage boat called the Ladv Car
T'ngtOn, to ply on the canal, has been built at
providence, from which place she performed
her first trip on the LIST inst. The occasion was
one of great interest to the inhabitants of that
place "he following account of it is abridged
from the Rhode Island american.
At. about 10 o'clock in the morning the
Lady Darlington started from the first lock
above tide water, salute of artillery an
nouncing her departure, seconded by the
cheers of those on board, and the shouts of
hundreds of spectators who crowded the
banks and surrounding eminences to wit
ness this novel spectacle. The boat is of
the largest size that can be admitted into
the locks, being about seventy feet long,
nine and half wide, and as high as will
admit OF safe passage under the BRIDGES
crossing the canal. She is covered on ton,
having below a cabin nearly the whole ex
tent of the boat conveniently and neatly
arranged. Her draft, when filed with pas
senlgers, does not exceed or inches.
Among the passengers were his Excel
lency the Governor, two of the r. |. Canal
commissioners, and about fifty citizens.
The boat was drawn ND the canal bv n
tow-line attached to two horses that travel
led with rapidity on the straight levels. of
which there are some very beautiful ones
before you come to the Blackstone river.
She might be conveyed with ease at the
rate OF four or five miles an hour. The trim
was extended without obstruction up to the
Albion factory, ten miles from tide water,
and Just above the junction of the canal with
the Blackstone river on whose smooth sur
face the route lies there for a short dis
lance. Three or four weeks of dry wealth
er, we understand, will be sufficient for
opening the canal up to Uxhridge, and

PEACH TREES. disease has been extern

Jecting in irregular convexities of a, reddish

I. w. Harris, of Milton, scientific and nrac-

Aphides are furnished with proboscis with
which they puncture the leaves, their pedicels,
the buds, or the young twigs of plants, and
through it draw the sap for their nourishment.
Those which derive it from leaves proceed from
minute eggs, deposited the preceding year,
near the leaf-buds the eggs endure the winter
and are Matched as soou as the bad begins to ex-

tobacco. This may be thrown upon the trees
by means of garden engine; and if the stream
be directed beneath the limbs with considerable
force it will not only dislodge but kill the lice

EXETER BANK. 1t is to be hoped that clue
is obtained, which will lead to the conviction of
the robbers of this Bank The Amherst, N. H.
Cabinet, states that Kimball, one of the persons
named in the following article, is an old rogue,
who escaped from the prison in that town last
spring. The infamous character of Briggs is
too notorious to require comment.
From the Rhode IsLnnd american of Friday last.
Malbone Briggs, Kimball, and an Irishman
named Loyane, were arrested in Newport, a
short time since, on suspicion of some connex-
ion with the Exeter Bank robbery. No bills of
this bank were found on them, though they did
not give very Ineligible account of them
selves, or of the relation in which they stood to
! each other. But on Tuesday last, Mr.. Stephen
Dubois of Newport, in pulling down some hay,
IN MS Darn on Dean wharf, discovered roll
of Exeter Bank Bills, in packet regularly la
belled so as to be identified by the Cashier of
the Bank, then in town, he having come to
Newport, ON hearing Of the arrest of Briggs and
| his associates. The marks on the strip of pa
per enclosing the bills were in the Cashier S
own hand writing. Other bills of the same
bank were found in different parts of the same
barn making the whole amount found 1890
dollars. Briggs and his associates have since
been examined, but there is no direct evidence
against them. Briggs had been seen in the vi
cinity Of the barn before his arrest. Loayne
was not arrested until some time, an hour per-
haps, after the arrest of Briggs and Kimball
! 1t is conjectured, therefore, that he may have
secreted the bills on hearing of tie arrest of his
| accompces. The barn appeared to have been
entered by means of false key. One thing is
certain, the bills were found there, and must be
the same robbed from the Exeter vault, and it
will be difficult to find among the visitors at
Newport, any persons upon whom to fasten sus-
picion, except the fellows implicated Every
possible means has been adopted to throw more
light upon this transaction. The cashier has
gone to New York, where it is conjectured that
some of the money may have been exchanged
by the persons suspected, who, in the mean
time, will be kept in confinement.
