OF the strictness of the passport system,
and the dangers from new corners which haunts
the Neapolitan official mind, a good story has
just been told. A lady, expecting her confne-
ment, was at Capri with her husband. Wish
ing that the child should be born on the main
land, they sailed across the bay but the
youthful Neopolitan having unexpectedly made
his appearance during the three hours voyage,
they were not allowed to land, because the in
FAINT was not in the passport.

New YORK, Feb. 15-The following are ad-
ditional items of the Africa's advices from Eu-
rope:
EASTERN AFFAIRS. little faith is placed
in the pretence of the Gar of desire to pre-
serve peace. All regard the mission of Count
0rotf as matter merely intended to give fur
Their time. 1t is observed that there are no
manifestations of a peaceful character on the
Danube, where the Russians are making ex-
ensive preparations for the attack on Kalefat.
The Russian organs admit that this attack will
cost the Russian army 10000 men.
In the mean time, 0mer Pacha continues
to fall upon the Russians whenever an oppor
tunity occurs, his object being to put it out of
their power to organize with effect for the con-
templated battle.
The issue of large amount of paper money
and an increase of treasury bonds at st. PETERS
burg have not yet had the effect to produce an
unfavorable alteration in the rates of exchange
Its believed that the Emperor Of Russia will
at once recall his ambassadors from Paris and
London, upon the failure of Count 0rlof to OBJ
tain declarations of neutrality from France
and England

| IHE EXPEDITION TO SEBksToPoL.-The expe<
dltion to Sebastopol is the srgest military and ma
val expedition ever undertaken in modern warfare.
According to the accounts, it numbers 600 vessels
and $4,000 men. The New York Courier compares
this with the principal expeditions undertaken in
European history:
! The "Invincible Armada" despatched By Phil
ip H., Of Spain, for the conquestof England, and
so famous IN warike annals numbered only one
hundred and thirty-seveushps Of war; twenty -thou-
sand soldiers, and eleven thousand sailors. The
expedition of Charles ", to Tunis, consisted Of
five hundred Genoese and Spanish vessels and thr-
ty thousand men, that of Gustavus Adolphus, TO
Germany, of only fifteen or eighteen thousand; that
OF Jussuf, agsDst Candia thirty thousa nd that of
klonperti, against the same stronghold, fifty thou
sand that of Charles XII, upon Denmark, twenty
thousand that of Peter the Great, upos the Cas-
plan Sea, twenty thousand men, with two hundred
and seventy ships the attempted decent Of Hoche
against Ireland twenty five Thousand men that of
Bonaparte, upon Egypt, twenty three thousand
men, with thirteen ships, seventeen frgates, and four
hundred transports; the Anglo-Russian expedition
against Holland forty thousand men that Of Aber-
crombie, upon Egypt, twenty thousand men that
of Lord Cathcart, upon Copenhagen, twenty-five
thousand men i; that of Wellington upon Portugal,
fifteen thousand, and upon Spain, thirty thousand
that of the French, upon Antwerp, seventy thou
sand men, forty thousand of which were land troops
upon Washington, about eight thousand, and upon
New Orleans, fifteen thousand that of the French,
upon Algiers, thirty thousand.
Thus We see that all these expeditions, compris--
ing the most important which have taken place
since the invention of gunpowder, fall considerably
short of the present The only one in fact which
was ever planned on a greater scale, was that of
Napoleon against England, in which preparations
were made for throwing hundred and fifty thou
sand disciplined veterans upon England by means
of three thousand pinnaces, protected by 90 ships
of-the-line,-That, however, is not entitled to be
brought into comparison, inasmuch as the sxpedi-
tion itself never took place.

MEMORANDA FoR CAREFUL WRIrERs.- Al
ways spell Kanzas with z, and Minnesota with
a double d. Never spell Santa Ana with more
than one n IN the second name. Dc not make
mistake apiece in spelling bouquet and sobriquet-
Recollect that employe has but one at tire end,
and that must be accented, unless you mean an en-
ployed woman, when it should be spelt employee,
with double ee the first one accented Never call
social party in the evening, Ievee, for the es-
sence Of that word is something that takes place in
the morning, it being the correatve term soiree.
Never write depot, when you mean railroad station
Never say east when you mean west, nor leeward
when you mean windward. The best way to avoid
many inaccuracies is one that has many other ad-
vantages, viz: never use foreign word when there
is a good English one that will express your idea;
and among English words those of Saxon deriya-
ton are often better than Latin, Greek or French

A DELICATE SEARcH-The st. Louis Herald
states case of young lady of the most undoubt-
ed raspectabilty, who entered shoe store in that
city, and asked to be shown some gaiter boots; a
number were shown to her which she examined
and tried on While the attention of the store
keeper was occupied with another customer, sever
al pairs Of CATERS disappeared. The lady conclu-
ding not to purchase, he was compelled to accuse
her of secreting his shoes; she denied it, and he
insisted, and proceeded to search, and found sever
al pair suspended by hooks which were attached to
the ady's garters. He took from their hooks those
belonging to him, and left there several others,
which had no doubt been taken from other stores.
She was allowed to depart.

GREAT MISS DAScIss.-We read that Ma
poleon was a very awkward dancer. On one occa-
sion he danced with very beautiful countess VINO
could not conceal her bushes at his ridiculous pos
lures. On leading her to her seat, he remarked;
sTThe fact is madam. my forte lies not 50 much in
dancing myself as IN making others dance" Tins
reminds tIs of an aecdote of Daniel Webster, who,
being present at bali in Washington, during his
incumbency as secretary Of state. was asked BY an
efeminate, foppish sort Of chap, who thought a
great deal Of his own dancing, ''don't you dance.
Mr.. Webster? ] never see you dancing. !" = Mo-
said Mr.. Webster, as be only could say and look
such things, 81 never had the capacity to learn
how, sir"
