NEW ORLEANS.

1t is certainly mournful for traveller to
dwell among the monuments of Pompeii, of
Herculaneum, and of Rome. There, if he
feels at all, he feels among these wrecks of
past grandeur, that he has nothing. A to-
tally different sensation possesses the mind
on entering an American city. In these,
man beholds what he can contend with, and
what ne can accomplish, when his strength
is unchecked by the arbitrary will of des-
pot. New Orleans, the wet grave where
the hopes of thousands are buried, for eighty
years, the wretched asylum for the outcasts
of France and Spain, who could not venture
one hundred PAGES beyond its gates without
utterly sinking TO the breast, or being at
tackled by alligators, has become, in the
space of twenty-three years, one of the most
beautiful cities of the Union, inhabited by
forty thousand persons, who trade with half
the world. The view is splendid beyond
description when you pass down the stream,

volume of waters in bed about 200 feet
deep, and as if conscious of its strength, APP
pears TO look quietly on the hustle of the
habitatiors of man. Both its hanks are lined
with charming sugar plantations, from the
midst of which rises the airy mansion of the
wealthy planter, surrounded with orange,
banana, lime and fig trees, the growth of a
climate approaching to the torrid zone. In
the rear you discover the cabins of the ne
groes and the sugar houses. and just at the
entrance ofthe port, groups of smaller houses
as if erected for the purpose OF conceallng
the prospect of the town. As soon as the

apples, whiskey barrels, are strewed upon 1t,

the buyers. Close by, are the rather more
decent keel boats, with cotton, fnrs, whis-
which, by its kissing and repeated sounds,
announces either its arrival or departure,
and sends forth immense columns of black
smoke that forms into long clouds above the
city. Farther on, are the smaller merchant

Although 100 miles from the sea, its position
is peculiarly favorable for an immense, and
indeed, unparalleled trade, which in due

EAST INDIES.
Late East India accounts had reached
London. Under the head of Boorhanpore
it is stated that " in the village of Rekhun,
near Boorhanpore, such an immense con-
course of people, consisting of pedlars, Da-
doo-Punthees, Sunyases, and others, had as
sembled, that the number of persons was
supposed TO be at least one hundred and fif-
ty thousand. At the time the crowd was
the thickest, suddenly most pestilental
and deadly wind began to blow, and the
people, abandoning their property, fled they
knew not whittier. Great numbers perish
ed on the spot. The news writer says, that
the whole ofthe merchandise collected there
was given to the wind. 1t was wonderful,
he adds, what could have become of so vast
a multitude in so short a time. The viru-
lence of the poisonous blast, however, at
length abated, and the Dadoo-P unthees, and
Sunyases, and others that remained, fell in
to desperate strife, in which many were kill
ed and wounded. The loss of property was
beyond calculation.

MONTREAL. Oct. %.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. On Friday
evening last, stranger woman aged about
30 years, who was travelling along the
banks of the Chateauguay river. sought and
obtained a nights lodgings in the house of
a man who resides in the town of Goldman
chester about three miles below the village
of Huntingdon. Next morning, about sew
en- o'clock, she went down to the river to
bring two buckets of water, accompanied
by her hosts daughter, little girl of about
seven years of age. To lift the water both
the females stepped into canoe which was
fastened along the shore. The elder had
dipped one of the buckets, which she was
bringing up filled, when the weight on one
side upset the canoe, and they were both
thrown into the river, which is there about
twenty-fv feet in depth. The woman
speedily disappeared, but the girl continu-
ed floating for some time. A neighboring
farmer named Paschai Girard, who was rid
ing past, observed the melancholy scene.
He instantly turned his horse to the river
in the hopes of saving the youngest sufferer.
The animal, however, was no sooner in the
water than he overset the rider who hung
by the bride for some time, but at length,
together with the horse, was drowned. The
bodies of the females were found shortly
after, but that of the man was not recovered
at 2 O'Clock on Saturday last.

RUSSIA AND Turkey.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Official bulletins from the Russian army
have, at length, been received by way Of
St Petersburg. They bring down the ope-
rations before Schoumla from the 9Th to the
Goth August; before Varna from the 18th
to the 31st Aug; and those before Silistra
from the 23d July to the 10th of Aug. These
are, of course, much more favorable to the
Russians than the accounts previously re-
ceived from other quarters, but it now ap-
pears, from the best authority, the balancing
OF the adverse statements, that the Turks
have not only given considerable annoyance
to the invading armies, but obtained great
advantages in conflicts of a much more i'm
portant nature than wSre expected to pre-
cede the grand attack upon their strong
holds.
According to these bulletins, Gen. Rudi-
ger, commanding the advanced guard of the
Russians before Schoumla on the 9TH AUG.
cleared the road from Este STEAMBOAT to the
village of Kostege, whence he drove a
Turkish detachment. The Turks being re-
nforced, attacked the Russians, but we're
again obliged to retreat. Gen. Rudiper.
however, returned to Este STEAMBOAT, and
the Turks again occupied the village
whence they had been disIodged. On the
18th, the Russians again dislodged them,
but, IN the meantime, party of s or 10000
cavalry and infantry sailed from Schoumla,
and attacked them as they fell back upon
their position, which, however, they sue
ceeded in regaining, though with the loss of
one piece of cannon. In this affair Gen.
lvanhof' was mortally wounded. While
these operations were proceeding in the
rear of Schoumla, the besiegers succeeded
in the completion of three redoubts, against
which the subsequent efforts of the Turks
were directed.
On the 25th the Turks made a desperate
sortle, attacking, simultaneously, both wings
of the Russians, and the position of Gen.
Rudiger at Este STEAMBOAT. Owing to the
tempestuous nature of the night and the
surprise, the bulletin says, one of the re-
doubts was carried almost without the
drawing ola sword. Gen. Wrede, brave
and meritorious officer, was amongst the
killed, and the bulletin ungratefully casts a
slur upon his memory, by attributing the
defeat to his carelessness and want of D, on
er conduct. The Turks then attacked the
second redoubt, but were repulsed, and
compelled to seek refuge in the Fortress
This, however, they did so leisurely, that
they are admitted to have taken with them
six pieces of cannon taken in the first re-
doubt. The Russians state their loss at 1863
killed and 454 wounded. In the meantime,
the attacks of the Turks on the VILLAGE of
Marasch, southeast of SchoumIa, where
the Russians have their baggage and hos
ptal, were repulsed, though they took one
piece of cannon. One of the Russian bat
talions, in this affair, is said to have lost
300 killed and wounded The attack made
upon the position of Gen. Rudiger is repre-
sented as equally unsuccessful. The blrlIe-
tin also admits the cutting off of one of the
Russian conveys, by party of Turkish
horse near Jeni Bazaar.

Extract Of a letter, dated San Felipe de .4us-

finement in this village (San Felipe) on a
charge of numbering his fellow-traveler on the
La Bacha river. between this place and San
Antonio. He died the day before his trial was
to have been had. The evidence of his guilt
was crcumsantial entirely, but of the strongest
kind. That he would have been convicted there
is no doubt, had he lived one day longer The

THE THAMES TUNNEL, is now entirely
at stand. A brick wall has been COM
peted at the further extremity of the exca-
walton, which being made water tight, pre-
vents any water oozng in that part, and al
so does away with the fear entertained, that
if left in its unfinished state, another break
in of the river might be the consequence.
The water the Tunnel makes (if we may
use the expression) at present is very tri-
fling, and the whole of the interior is as
fresh and firm as before any accident hap
pened. The workmen, with the exception
of very few hands who are employed in
thoroughly removing every appearance of
the late disaster, have been discharged,
and even the few now at work, will in an
other week, be no longer needed. 1t has
been proposed, in the event of the sum of
100000 being raised, to commence work
ing from the other side of the Thames as
far as they can go; and in case of the water
breaking in, as they approach the danger
Gus part, which is the centre of the river,
building up similar wall to that now piac-
ed at the end of the present works and af-
forwards completing the centre by means
of the cofferdam. If such plan lie in con-
temptation, it must he attended with consld-
cradle expense; but is, perhaps, the most
likely to ensure the completion of the un-
dertaking.-LOndon paper.

PHENOMENON. In Siberia, on the 9TH
oflast February, splendid phenomenon was
seen near the sun in the morning. The
weather was severely cold. and at sunrise,
the sears of the snn'' or "mock suns" were
seen on both sides of the true sun. At ten
IN the morning, these rays changed to bril-
liant parhelia, and as the sun rose in the
heavens, an immense whtish column, like
the trail of a comet, appeared to be attached
to it. This column formed in the whole ex-
tent of the sky circle, in the circumference
of which seven suns were visible, pale and
rayless, and situate at equal distances from
each other and the true sun. The last,
moreover, reflected in the atmosphere four
great white circles, so disposed as to form
pyramid, two of them being circumscribed
by the aforementioned circles, whilst the
two others were in that part of the horizon
opposite to the sun. 1t was observed that
there must have been four circles in the
greatest, but that one was effaced by the
light of the sun, and only half of the other
was visible which glittered with all the coll
ors in the rainbow.-PaNadium.

In reply to daily inquiries in relation to
the Bunker Hill Monument. the Aurora,
published in Charlestown, states, that the
work has been discontinued-the funds, it
is said, are exhausted, and the Association
have mortgaged the fifteen acres of land to
the amount of $4,000. The land cost
about $4,000, and is estimated to have
doubled in value. About $4,000 are me-
cessary to complete the work and redeem
the land, which is the estimated value of
the land.

GREAT DUTcH CANAL. The most STU
pendous work of the kind. of which we have
ever seen description, is the Canal. begun
in 1919 and finished 1925. connecting Am
stetdam with an excellent harbor at the
mouth of the Znyder Zee, opposite the isl
and Of Texel. Theslength Of the Canal is
but so miles; hut its breadth, at the surface
of the water, is 224 feet-at the bottom Sc
feet; and its depth is 20 feet 9 inches. The
quantity of water which it contains, is said
to he double that which fills the New York
Canal, or the Canal ofLanguedoc, in France.
1t was constructed for the purpose of afford
ing for heavy ships passage between Am.
sterdam and the sea, thus remedying the
great inconvenience of their lading or I'M
lading at the bar in the bay, seven miles
from the city, where there is but about ten
feet depth of water. The time necessary
for taking ship by this Canal from Amster
dam to Helder, is eighteen hours. The
number of ships which arrived and cleared
at the port of Amsterdam in 1927, appears
to have been 1882; of which the small ones
probably took the old route, while those re-
quirng greater depth of water, saved both
time and expense by taking the Canal, suf-
6cently commodious, perhaps, for two ships
of war, of fifty guns, to pass abreast.
