A BATTLE ON THE PACIFIC COAST

n ON 1A1A EAOAHAO WASH
The French and English squadrons have
been on cruize to the North Pacific, in the
course of which they made an attempt on
Petropolowski, town on the coast of Rants
chatka The particulars ofthe attack we pub
lish this morning, as they are set forth in an
account OF the cruize of the allied squadrons
in the Echo du Pacifque Of San Francisco. A
portion of the French Squadron was at San
Francisco repairing damages, and we may
therefore regard the narrative of the Echo az
the authorized French version Of the affair
From that version, it is evident that the al
lies were repused. 1t states, it is true, that all
was accomplished which it was needful to &C.
complish by battering the forts and Gripping the
Russian ships; but then it should be remem-
bered that the allies, after cool elaboration,
thought it advisable to do something more, and
failed in the attempt being driven back to the
sea. The damaged condition Of the feet, and
the failure to mention the number of killed and
wounded, are most significant facts. Indeed,
it is plain that the English and French had
enough of Petropolowski. t..h

We learn from the Portland Times that vol

ports had been received at Portland that the
volunteers had reached the scene Of the mas

taken prisoners, among whom was pre-

Capture Of the venetian Brides.

According to an ancient custom, the nuptials
of the mobiles and principal citizens of Venice
were always celebrated on the same day of the
year. The eve of the Publication was conse-
Grated to this public festival, and the State an
nually increased the general Joy of the occa.
sion by endowing twelve maidens with mar
riage portions. In the morning, gondolas, ele-
gantly ornamented, assembled from all parts
of the city at the Episcopal church of Olivolo.
The afiianced pairs disembarked amidst the
sound of music; their relations and friends in
their most splendid habiliments, swelled their
retinue; the rich presents made to the brides,
their Jewels and ornaments, were proudly borne
for display; and the body of the people, un-
armed, and thoughtless of danger, followed the
glad procession. The Istrian pirates, &C
quainted with the existence Of this annual
festival, had the boldness to prepare an am
bush for the nuptial train in the city itself
They secretly arrived over night at an unin-
habited islet, near the church of Olivolo, and
Law hidden behind it with their banks until
the procession had entered the church, when,
darting from their concealment, they rushed
into the sacred edi6ce through all its doors,
tore the shrieking brides from the arms of
their defenceless lovers, possessed themselves
of the Jewels which had been displayed in the
festal pomp, and Immediately put to sea with
their Ialr captlVes ahu pooty. Dut ueduy
revenge overlook them.
The Doge, Pietro Caniando III, had been
present at the ceremony; he shared in the fury
and Indignation of the .afianced youths, they
few to arms, and throwing themselves under
his conduct into their vessels, came up with
the spoilers in the lagunes of Carlo. Alright
| full massacre ensued; not life among the
pirates was spared and the yictors returned
| In triumph, with their brides to the church Of
Olivolo. A procession of the maidens Of
Venice revived for many centuries the recollec-
ton of this deliverance on the eve of the Puri-
fcation. But the Doge was not satisfied with
the punishment which he had inflicted on the
Istriots. He entered vigorously upon the re-
solution of clearing the Adriatic of all the par
ties who infested it; he conquered part of
Dalmatia; and he transmitted to his success
sors, with the ducal crown, the duty of con-
summating his design.

PHoroGRAPHY.-The basis of the Photo
graphic art is founded on the chemical changes
effected by light upon metal compounds, and
other substances. This principal in the action
of light was established as early as 1856, and
the alchemists went so far as to impress letters
and figures upon a preparation of silver in &C.
quafortis; and il is very probable that had
not their minds been so occupied in their en-
deavors to discover the philosophers stone,
the process now called the daguerrotype might
have been given to the world in their day. IL
is even now asserted that the jugglers of India
formerly possessed q method OF copying. the
likeness Of an individual by the action oflight
to which they owed the mysteries of their magic
mirrors, so renowned in story.

We copy the following from the Aspinwall
New Granada) Courier, of October 81:
"The construction of the railroad is being
pushed forward as fast as possible, but the
character of the soil in which much Of the
work is now being done, is such that it is inn
possible to make rapid progress during the
present rainy season. Those who have not
seen the work can form no idea of it, and we
cannot adequately describe it. We see, how
ever, that all that can is being done, and we
are confident that the coming dry season will
soon put the road in running order through to
Panama.
"Since our last steamer edition, there have
been but two arrivals and two departures of
Jamaica laborers for the railroad company. A
shipment of coolies to Jamaica has also been
made.
"Aspinwall is undergoing repairs from one
extremity to the other, and large preparations
are making for new and important improve
ments. Several large buildings, but just COM
pleted, are already occupied. All the recent
arrangements for doing business extensively,
of which we are cognizant of several, seem to
be of permanent and substantial character"
