We have weeks news from Europe to the
10th inst The most important fact is the sail
ing of the expedition from varna against Sevas-
topol, which took place on the 4th, some 10000
strong with eco vessels. In about a fortnight We
may expect to have some decided indications Of
the result of this first really significant attack of
the allies upon Russia. The troops of the latter
are at last recrossing the Pruth, while the Aus
trians occupy Wallachia, and will soon enter
Moldavia The commander at Odessa has
issued an order requiring the inhabitants of
Odessa to burn their houses in case it is taken by
the allies Meyendorff the late Russian Embas-
sador at Vienna has gone home, bat Gorchakofi
remains in his place. From the Baltic there is
nothing of moment. In Spain tranquility pre-
walls; the confscstion Of Queen Christmas
property has commenced in Que of the provinces.
Mr.. Soue has written sharp letter to the Diario
EspahOi, which we copy elsewhere.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.

The recent influx of Chinese into California has
given rice TO much speculation and many grave
fears for the future. The San Francisco journals
TEEN with articles on this subject; and it is also
we learn, fertile topic Of private conversation.
During the fortnight, from the llth to the 10Th
of August, the arrivals of Chinese passenger
ships amounted to ten in number, the passages
varying from AZ TO 100 days. The total number
of passengers given was 2,S43, in fifteen days !!
One vessel reports 100 deaths, another -, and so
on to match for the poor wretches are crowded
in the between decks and into frail deck houses,
till the miseries of the voyage are rivaed only by
the horrors of the midde-passsge." Ii may be
asked why the laws are not inforced to prevent
the over. crowding of these ships. The vessels
are mostly old hulks; many of them have lain here
or at Hong Kong as store-ships for months, or
even years; and if, in one voyage, the worthless
old craft can be made to net S35, 900 or $4,000,
she can well be sunk, and still make profitable
operation. This was the case with the old PO-
tomac; she brought several hundred passengers,
is said to have Melted over $780, 600, was lbeled
for excess of passengers and sod bringing -, 400.
All these facts excite cur pity and sympathy for
the poor Chiuese the more so, as they are brought
over 10 California by rich companies organized
among their countrymen, and hired Tor a mere song
to labor there for the benefit Of their masters.
Now comes the hardest question. VIA. shall
be done with them! Is the welfare of the coun-
try promoted by this influx of emigration There
is no State in the Union now more in need Of hard
working men than California. The laboring class
there is disproportionetely small and therein lies
one great cause of the present distress of that
region. If California could have tide Of hardy
educated Americans poured upon her, it would
be the greatest blessing she could enjoy; but how
can that be while hardly an old State can be said
to be cultivated Any of the Christian races
however, are welcome there, or any of the white
races. They all assimilate with Americans they
have sympsthies together, and are gradually all
fused together into ont. homogeneous mass. But
whether California should encourage an influx of
a population like the Chinese admits of grave
doubts. Take a look 81 Cinnamon in San Fran.
cisco, as they are vertically descrbed-One may

There are wealthy men among them, true; many
of whom bear highly respectable character with
those who know them. Some Of these are Chris
tiaps; and with the aid Of the liberal men of San
Francisco have erected fine brick chapel on
stockton-st., and now support missionary there;
and we are told that John in his devotions shows
quite as much religious feeling as any white man.
But their number is very, very small; mere
drop in the bucket
But of the remainder, what can be said They
are for the most part an industrious people, for

REFORM NOMINATION FOR MAYOR
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER %.

The City Reform Committee met last night at
the University, with a very large attendance of
members, and after long deliberation unani-
mously nominated NICHOLAS DEAN as the Re-
form candidate for Mayor. Mr.. Dean is well
known, honest, and fully capable. Having been
for several years at the head Of the Croton Aque-
duct Department. and in other official positions,
he is thoroughly familiar with the history, the
business and the wants Of the City. He is a
plain, straight forward, determined man. and If
elected would be 7ery likely to administer the
office in hisown way, regardless of the Mayor
managers who have so long been the "power
"behind the throne" at the City Hall.

The death OF General Robert Armstrong, the proprietor Of
this paper and our associate in it's editorial management
He died last evening al O'Clock. at bis own
dence in this city, surrounded and solaced in his Affections
BY most OF his children We are in no state of mind TO
prepare anything like sketch Of his life. Our relations
with him since boyhood have been OF character
intimate and uninterrupted that he was more than our
friend He died at the age of sixty ,thee OF conges-
ton OF the brain. His health for some weeks had been
iral, but until yesterday morning his disease was
not regarded threatening fatal issue His dlstin-
gushed and gallant services in the OF 1919 mat
ters OF history. He was the bosom friend OF General
jackson, ana the selected by him as The deposary
and keeper OF his sword. II was our fortune TO be sc
lected by General Jackson to deliver to General Arm
strong this invaluable legacy. The noble qualities which
endeaIed him to General Jackson were his stern nieg-
rly, his cool courage. his sterling judgment and his de-
voted patriotism. In the several responsible public
trusts civil and military, which he filed, these noble
tributes marked his cocduct. He enjoyed the unlimited
confidence of Presidents jackson, Van Buen, Polk, and
Pierce He was as amiable and attractive in the private
relations OF life he fearless, honest, and faithful
in The discharge of his public duties.
