fB@ The Russians seem fully determined
to defend the Crimea, even should Sevasto-
pol fall. AS proof of the importance attach
ed to the defence, it is currently given out in
Russia that the Grand Duke Constantine will
himself take command of the Southern army.
The question is discussed with much earnest
ness as TO the impossibiity Of reinforcements
reaching Menschikoff, so as to enable him to
assume the offensive in the field against the
allies, and compel them to raise the seige.-
The Russians have already 10000 men en-
trenched at Baksbiscrai rs nuceous for the
expected reinforcements, and the army of the
Crimea will be in n position to operate with
10000 men in the field, in aid of the beseiged
garrison, which numbers 3O,0O0-the total
Russian force thus being 10000 men.
To meet this force, the allies have at the
present moment, at sea and on shore, an
equal number-that IS to say 10000 men, and
they are continually bringing up reinforce
ments, having, of course the free command
of the sea. Eight thousand additional Turks
are under orders to embark from Varna, and
the Egyptian extra contingent of 1000 will
proceed direct from Alexandria TO the Crimea.
The Russians will thus be out-numbered, and
as the allies have siege artillery, (for which
100000 shot and shell are already landed,)
and all arms of warfare, there is every proba-
bility that Sevastopol will fall, and perhaps
speedily. But it by no means follows that IFS
fall will end the war Turkey is well nigh
exhausted of recruits; France it is true, has
still 100000 men to spare; England has not a
single regiment, unless she brings forward
her SepOys from India. Russia, on the con-
trary, has immense reserves, and may protract
the war indefinitely.

KNOW NoTHINGJsM.

The N. Y. Mirror, always well tempered
and reliable, in an article in reply to some
structures of the Tribune, thus gives what it
understands to be the object of the Know
Nothings, or Americans:
Aswe understand it, the programme of the
great national American Party, destined soon
TO embrace the Americanism, and with it the
intelligence and patriotism of the land, is this:
Direct, universal, and unremitting hostility
to whatever has weakened, or may threaten
TO weaken our American unity and national
ity, as people. A platform of national
American principles, that will give to our lib
erty, as 5equeathed by our Revolutionary
fathers, every possible permanent safeguard.
A security of the franchise, offices, and rule
of America to Americans. A perpetual En-
barge against foreign state-shipped convicts
and paupers. Such revisal Of the laws of
naturalization, as shall, without abridging the
Asylum heretofore profiered to the exile and
down-trodden of the old world, or denying
to the immigrant one just claim, close the
ballot box to priest-and-demagogue led
hordes, one OF whose ralying cries has been
down with the American Constitution, down
with American Free Schools, and down with
the American Sabbath. A firm determination
to sustain, inviolate, the Constitution and In
situations under which we have advanced in
prosperity, strength and influence, TO the front
rank of nations. The liberation of all rel.
gions in so far as they are free from political
character, and no further. A suppression of all
chartered or legislated foreign o titled or
foreign charactered organization, military or
civil, in our midst. The punishment of the
laws of the land in the language Of Ameri.
cans, and the employment Of teachers using
that language in all our schools supported by
National or State bounty.

of absent faces during the epidemic, we see
in town daily, should the present state of the

in visiting the city. The dreaded fire has

THE Price OF IRos.-We learn from the
London Morning Advertiser, that, at the
quarterly meeting of iron masters, held in the
Birmingham district, the question of reduc-
ton in the price of iron was under cOnsidera-
ton. The Advertiser says:
At the meeting there was an unusual num-
Der of gentlemen interested in the American
trade, who were no doubt anxious TO ascer-
lain how far the reports recently circulated
through the American Mining Journal and
other papers, relative 10 the great progress of
the manufacture Of iron in some of the States
had effected the trade in this country.
Whether the masters will be able to main
tain present prices throughout the quarter is
doubtful. II is certain that during the past
month the revenue returns exhibit n consid-
cradle falling off in the exports of iron and
general hardware, and that there is evidently
downward tendency. The war and its I'M
certainty is producing unfavorable results;
and, although we have held out much longer
than perhaps any other interest in the coun-
try, we are beginning to feel the pinch more
or less.
The above, says the New York Express, is
significant to iron and coal masters in this
country. Ii iron should materially fall off in
England, it will diminish its production in the
United States, and cause several enterprises
about to be undertaken and enlarged in the
coal region of Pennsylvania TO be reconsid-
cred.

Quaker:
Friend Hendricks, | understand from

happen that thee should be beaten in this
race for Congress by Mr.. Barbour, thee
would probably regard it as an indication

FACTS FOR BUILDERS. One fact is
that square form secures more room
with a given cost for outside walls than
any other rectangular figure. Great
length and little width may afford con
veuient rooms, but at an increased ex-
pense.
Another fact is that ventilation is an
essential in a human dwelling. No other
consideration should exclude this. The
halls, windows, and doors should be so
situated with regard to each other, that a
! full draught Of air can be secured, at
any time, in the summer season, by day
and by night, through the whole house.
/ The stories should also be sufficiently
high to afford a sufficiency of air in all
the rooms. Nine feet is good height
| for lower rooms, and eight for upper
Bed rooms, should also be larger than
thew commonly are. Great injury TO
health is the result of sleeping in small.
close apartments.
The third fact is, that steep roof vii.

The fourth fact is, that chimney in OF
near the centre Of the building will aid
TO warm The whole house, while il built al
one end or side, the heat will be thrown
out and lost.
The fNh fact is, that a door opening
