The European War.

The London Times in commenting upon
"the probable continuance of The present
war;" INDUCES the idea, that it is not only to
be Of very long continuance, but one of the
most desolating contests that has ever con.
vulsed Europe. The Times conjures its
younger readers to note the visible signs and
preparations of war. "Lct them enter in
their diaries the regiments they saw en- route
for the East; the day they babe good bye to
their uncle or brother they were never to
see again, and not omit the first Sunday
when they heard the prayer used in churches
for time of war. Let them store these
things in their memories and ponder over
them, for, it may be only few years, in all
human probability it will be many, before
they see the end of which this is only the
beginning"
The great war of the continent 10 brought
into imaginary comparison, and even alluded
to with insigni6cance in the contrast with
the approaching struggle. The Times, in ut.
tering the sentiments OF the English govern
ment, contemplates the relation which Great
Britain bears in this struggle, with gseat@nx
iety. Itsays, ave have now to deal with
continent rather than a State, and with
large section Of the human race rather than
aPeople. With our own numbers more than
ever finite, and with materials, labor and
man himself yearly more appreciated, we
contend with a cheap and inexhaustible null
titude. England reasons that to volunteer
in this struggle and assume the orduous task,
is at the present moment duty of the stern.
est necessity, and accepts the opportunity
lest it should fall to posterity and be above
their strength. England deems her cause
to be one Of common liberty and Justice, and
the maintenance of her national honor,
and having pledged herself to befricnd the
injured and chastise the oPpressor, her honor
forbds her to recede,"
"Of the final victory" says the Times,
we "will allow no doubt, but what we may
have to expect, is a protracted, difficult and
costly war, costing large mortality rather
than much blood, and entailing on the ma
ton large increase Of expenditure, as well
as sad check to that long course of social
improvement in which we 90 confidently be-
heved ourselves embarked"
The parties to this great struggle between
the more important dynasties Of Europe, are
taking philosophic view of the results 40
the time for action approaches. The West.
ern powers look upon their common foe as
no mean or weak adversary. yet they enter
the contest with resolution which acknowl-
edges no ultimate defeat. They allege that
while they have been engaged during the
long interval of peace. in enterprises to i'm
prove their internal organization, introducing
and developing science and commerce, con-
sidering questions Of Legislation and justice.
with view to promote the future welfare of
their subjects, it has been the sole object of
the Russian government to maintain an over.
towering army and perfect her military or
ganization, to be ready to strike the blow
that should give to herself the balance of
power on the continent.

III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
dcted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy OF his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He lie physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been SO long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard Of it,
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acler and practice, we have doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give ii
a trial-Lynn Netos, December 90, 1853.

Dance Light FOR MY Heart Lies Under
Your Feet, Love1
BY JOHN FRANCIS WALLER.

"Ah sweet Kitty Neil, rise up from that wheel
Your neat little foot will be weary from spin
ming;
Come trip down with me TO the sycamore tree,
Halfihe parish is there, and the dance is begin
ming.
The sun is gone down, but the full harvest moon
Shines sweely and cool on the dew-whitened
valley
While all the air rings with the Soft loving things
Each little bird sings in the green-shaded alley
With blush and smile Kitty rose up the while,
Her eye in the glass, as she bound her HAIR
glancing;
IT'S hard to refuse when young lover sues
So she couldn't but choose TO go off 10 the
dancing
And now on the green the glad groups seem
Each gayhearted lad with the lass of his choos-
ing;
And Pat without fail, leads out sweet Kitty Neil;
Somehow, when he asked, she ne'er thought of
refusing.
Now, Felix Magee put his pipes to his knee,
And with flourish so free sets each couple in
notion;
With cheer and bound the lads patter the
ground
The maids move around just like swans on the
ocean.
Cheeks bright as the rose-f.et light as the does,
Now coyly retiring now boldly advancing
Search the world all round from the sky TO the
ground,
No such sight can found as an Irish lass dancing.
Sweet Kate who could view your bright eyes of
deep blue,
Beaming humidity through their dark lashes so
mildly,
Your fair turned arm, heaving breast, rounded
form,
Nor feel his heart warm, and his pulses throb
wildly?
Young Pat feels his heart, as he gazes, depart,
Subdued by the smart of such painful, yet sweet
love;
The sight leaves his eyes, as he cries with sigh,
Dance hghf, for nay heart ii lies under yonr feet,
Lope /"

carried out that the garrison was soon compelled

The above accounts show incontrovertbly that
the allied force was very much larger than the
Russian, the former Numbering IL 900 land forces
and Is ships of wharf.-the latter certainly under
1900. The Russians, both officers and private
men, fought with distinguished bravery and skill

Our latest accounts from Bomarsund are via
Hamburg, TO August 2lst. Several British line
ofbattle (sieam) ships and frigates, with some
French ships of the same class, had sailed in a
southesiery direction as il going 10 Hango or
Sweaburg There was runor that the remains
of the Bomarsund Notifications will be blown up,
and abandoned, but this seems very unlikely.
There was another rumor TO the effect that the
allied fleet will winter at Stockholm. Thanks
giving had been offered up by the victors in all
the churches of the islands, not forgetting to pray
for Victoria and Napoleon.

Rescue of Five Slaves in Allegheny city,

Shortly before three o'clock yesterday, an omni-
bus, containing a coored woman and her four
children, drove up TO the Allegheny House, on
Federal street. opposite the d-pot of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad. white man who was
standing upon the steps OF the vehicle, addressed
one OF the walters Of the house, and asked II din
ner could be served up for the inmates OF the ON
nibus. The waiter replied in the Affirmative, and
the women and children were taken into the house
and set down 10 table. Some persons, noticing
that the women and children were in the custody
of a white man, raised the cry that they were
slaves about being taken into bondage again by
their master. The waiter Of the hotel was depu-
tzed by the crowd that had assembled TO ask the
woman il she and her child en- were slaves. He
questioned the woman, who at first appeared I'M
willing TO answer but at length said they were
not slaves, but free people. He urged upon her
TO tell the truth, and at last she replied they were
slaves and the white man who accompanied them
was their master. In a short space Of time the
crowd had possession OF the woman and children,
and conveyed them TO place OF safety in the
upper part Of the city 8A
The young man who accompanied them was
all this time busy in attending TO his baggage, and
when he returned was fomewhat surprised 10 hear
of the proceedings that had occurred during his

bequeathed them TO his sister, Miss Barbara Hor.

and that he was taking them TO Wisconsin, where
