FROM THE WAR.

.< ', SsAs ess 4tuuSut ittH6 news Gxcept ttle details ot the recent tomba rslment of Sweaborg, and of the Russian attack on the Ohemay ya--or, as t Is called, the ~ battle of IMktir 6ndge We have fall particu- hrssoi the Swnaborg bombardment, but on- ly partial details Of the Crimean affair." Finland papers say the Russian loss at Sweaborg vas no more than 4O killed and l60 wounded. while the Allies had no loss f.iife. Ample as the dispatches arc, they do not convey a clear idea of how much of Sweaborg has been destroyed, and of how much remains. Two English steamers have been trying the range of their guns against Riga. In the White Sea the allied cruisers continue to destroy the carrying vessels and stores of fish aud grain along the coast. In the Sea of Axoff the British have blown mn the sunken ships 1t sBefdiahsk, and have burned the suburb of that town. Before Sebastopol affairs are quite unchsnged. as they seem fo he al, kars. The loss of the Russians" killed and wounded on the Cher maya is said to he not much short of 4O0O men, while the Frenci, own to 1000, sand the Sardinians to GOO. Later estimates may moderate these figures.

 Coon Apvick.--An Irish Roman Ca,ho-
 ic priest, long resident in America. has been writing a vehement elaboration to his eountryn,en on the subject of emigratinr to the United States. He says that the Irisl,- man does not get rich in s.the land of iib- erty," while he loses his torner respect for his priest, becomes skeptirai and immoral. and in,lalgessin ,s the beastly vice or intem- perance' e'--whiclt, of course, Is d tRitp un- heard ot in Ireland. Tie Americans them. selves are denounced as ssinfdeis'' fbv which we suppose is meant Protestants,) and as encouraging a system of liberty which Is only another name for license while the children of Irish parents born in America, become even more anti Irish and more irrtligions than the genuine !" Yam kre." The moral of all this is. that it is better to die at home than to lose a"faith and morals by crossing the Atlantic.
 \ CieARs.-The Hartford Times in late article on the Tobacco crop of the Connecti- cut River Valley, states that in and about Safield, West Suflield aud Warehouse Point about four hundred persons are employed in cigar inaking,and they manufacture abont 400,000 cigars per week. These sell at St6 to SIS per M., and they are distributed throughout the entire country. from Maine o California. There is an idea which prevails extensively, that many of them are shipped to Cuba, and then reshippet to New York as genuine Havanas, but such is not the case. There are two large estab- iishments in Suffieid for the manufacture of cigar boxes, which are made of cedar imported iron, Honduras, and sold at from to IA cents apiece. A few cigars are made in Hartford, mostly to supply the re- tail trade there. and some twenty five or thirty persons are employed. There Is not so much peddiing from the factories as ihere was formerly. Vast quantities of the cigars are sent 10 certain cities south and west, and from these points the peders radia,e until there is hardly town in the Union that is not supplied with its quota of Connecticut cigars. e''ee a.t ''''f >s"'
