The Scotch troops remained firm, and other

upon the Allies. Three Regiments of Eug-
lish cavalry, which were exposed to u cross
fire, suffered terribly.
On she succeeding day n simultaneous
attnck was made by the Russian forces, un-
der MeLchikoff, and the garrison Of Sebas-
topol. upon the French position. The
French say that the Russians were repulsed
with great loss, but the Russian accounts
say that they destroyed the French works,
and spiked all their guns. They also say
that the English lost 500 cavalry at BalNk-
lava, and claim, generally, to be successful.
In Scbastopo, the loss of life is said to
be 80 great, that the unburicd corpscs taint

ave are panied TO hear that the establish
ment Of this distinguished artist has been
visited with n calamity BY which he suffers
severe pecuniary loss, and which will delay
the completion Of the great works which he
had commenced equestrian statutes OF
Washington and Jackson. Yesterday after
noon, whilst his furnace was in full blast,
the roof, from some unexpected cause, took
lire, and, notwithstanding great efforts were
made TO save the model Of the statue Of
Gen. Jackson and the building, they were,
in an incredibly short time, destroyed by
the flames. Several castings Of the statue
had been taken and placed outside of the
foundry, and were saved. The loss sustain
ed by this fire is estimated ut six 10 ten
thousand dollars, and the destruction OF the
model for the statue is particularly to be re.
gretted. M it cannot be reproduced bat with
great labor and heavy expense. There was
no insurance on the property.

FRIENDSHIP.

Oh who can search creations bounds
And find this holy fire,
What heart vibrates, what tongue re
sounds
The tones Of friendships lyrc.
Alas it is indeed ~ name,"
az charm that iullsto sleep,
A shade that follows wealth and fame,
And leaves the wretch to weep"
'Tis like the cool, refreshing dew
That glitters on the morn,
It doth the sickly plant renew
But soon 10 leave forlorn.
For 10 summers scorching sun
This dew dries in an hour,
Before the day has well begun,
Behold the dropping flower.
So fickle friendship doth devour,
The heart, the soul, Of man,
Its yenomed sting may in an hour
Insert lis cherished fang.
Hast thou friend?--he Is a prize
Thy keee thou'lt surely bend,
And thank thy God with streaming eye,
Who is TO ALA friend.

A SCIENTIFIC RoaUE.-The local editor
of the Petersburg Express, relates the ex-
perience of n Norfolk lady at the State Fair.
She had entered one of the crowded omni.
buses OF Main street, in order 10 meet hor
friends ut the Fair grounds /; and rs num-
bers were there anxious to get seats in the
same vehicle, 1t was pretty close work:
iashionably attired gentleman very dis
t,ngue looking, took his seat by the side of
the lady. He was dressed in the best black.
with most religious looking neck tic. A
handsome tdImd cloak hung gracefully over
his shoulders, while his hands (of most
noble b'ooded symmetry eneased in spot
less and deilcately colored "kids") rested
TRANQUILITY on his lap. The ladies present
could not help admiring the aristocratic
model of those hands.
On drawing near the Chinese entrance To
the Fair grounds, our fair informant f,lt
something stirring her dress near her pock
ct. 1t surely could not be the hands of
her genteel neighbor, for they were tran.
gull in his lap. Again she felt something
lingering near her sash where her watch
was fascinatingly lodged She put down
her hand, and grasped the warm fingers of
an unknown hand belonging evidently to
the gentcel parsonage by her side. The
idea OF three or four handed man so ter
riiied the l0dy that she shrieked and swoon.
ed-right off! With a bold swing Of his
"Talma," the aristocratic kids disappeared
and their owner, amid tho confusion, said
ne d run and get some water to restore the
lady. He did so, but we presume he went
very far TO fetch lit for he has not vet
been heard Of in connexion with said wa
ter"
When the lady found herself In speaking
condition, she told the cause and perceived
that her port monaie aud pencil case were
gone, and the marks of 4 pair of nippers on
her watch chain.
The pair of neatly gloved hands were
"shdm," mere "decoy ducks;" while from
beneath the facilitatingly constructed folds
OF the talma, the real flesh and bone were
wandering insidiously in search of the fair
ladys valuables.
