From the Liverpool Times Of Saturday.
The misunderstanding with the United
States is attracting throughout the British
Empire degree of interest equal to the
war with Russia. That our relation with
the Cabinet of War are implicated is, we
fear truth which cannot be denied, bu,
the exact cause of This embodiment is not
by any means clear. Yesterday, rumor
prevailed here and in London, that the
American Minister at The Court Of ST..
James, had either heen recalled or would
leave for the United States by The packet
which sails this day. '-... @t'a . '+.. I''
We happen to know througha private
source, that Buchanan had an interview
with Lord Clarendon on Tuesday last, in
the course Of which his Lordship assured
The American Minister, that the British
Government were informed on unques-
tionable authority, that ships were being
built and fitted out in the United States.
for the express purpose Of making de.
scent on Cuba or the British West Indies,
and on Others Of the British possessions.
But the interview between the English
foreign Minister and the American EN-.
bissador, was so friendly that the last
named parsonage was 10 have dined with
Lord Clarendon yesterday, friday ''
Since this friendly interview took place,
an article has appeared in the London
Times, which Mr.. Buchanan may think
is calculated 10 compromise him in the
eyes Of his own government and the
American public, and he may have look
ed on the statements which il contained,
as breach Of confidence. e'' ',' y
The article to which we refer, mus,
have been inspected BY some member Of
the government-possiby some member
Of the Cabinet, aud therefore, without at
all endorsing the rumor to which we have
referred. We calrreadily conceive Mr.
Buchanan's annoyance, at having his
name mixed up will a transaction so del
icate as the one point referred to in the
Times Of Thursday. ,ae 9'a' '7o j .4'.

G~We called the other day into the
Treasurers Office, and were informed that
an unusual number of taxpayers in the
County had-up to that time-neglected to
"fork over" The time is near at hand
when "the penalty will be required" if
they are found wanting.
Our friends in city and country should
think of this, and act accordingly. Taxes
are heavy enough, in all reason, without
the addition of the penalty.

THE STING OF DEATH.

In biographical notice, giving an ac-
count of the last day Of q good man who
was distinguished for his serene and lofty
faith, he is reported as saying, 81 appear
to suffer but do not. 1t seems as if some
poor angel was standing by me, he bearing
all the pain, and this poor body of mine
exhibiting signs of it." A striking in
stance of the same kind occurred not long
since within our knowledge. A lady o.
exalted piety was suffering from protracted
and fatal sickness, and at certain intervals
there came spasms and convulsons, giving
externally all the symptoms of intolerable
agony. Once when the spasms were evil
IDENTIFY coming on, and her friends were
bending over her with anxious faces, she
looked up with sweet and tranquil smile
and said, "Do not be troubled about me.
You think | am suffering extremely, but l
do not. know not how it is, but Some-
how when these convulsions come on, there
comes with them sense of DivinA pres
ence, an inward power that takes upon it.
self the burthen of my suferings and these
spasms are only an appearance"
1t is most beautiful and benifcent law,
that when the mind is exalted with great
conceptions or filled with an absorbing love.
the body is less sensible to its inirmities
and sufferings, and sometimes forgets them
altogether. Even our natural affections
and passions have power, though in limi-
ted degree, of suspending our bodily sensa-
tions. A mother who little while ago
was pale and dropping under the smallest
burden, is by-and-by seen hanging over the
bed Of her stricken child; and how chang
ed from what she was! Her countenunce
that was so pale now beams with life, and
the arms that hung down are nefved with
energy. The astronomer in his starry con-
temptations becomes free from the body, and
cold, hunger and fatigue are alike forgotten.
But religious faith, when warm and clear,
and its eye open wide on Immortality, ele-
Yates and changes all our affections, and
then it reacts upon the whole frame, and
sends its tranquilizing influence along its
nerves. 1t was this that made the martyrs
almost insensible to suffering and they rose
to God out of the fires while singing tri-
umphant hymns. ....
And the idea is suggested to us that the
facts here cited may range themselves uri-
der benignant and all-circling law whose
operations We experience as yet most i'm
perfectly, and that when ourlmere belief
and make-belief shall change into full re-
fnlgent faith it shall destroy the sting Of
death, hot merely by giving us patience to
bear the suiferings, but by rolling off that
burden of humanity. For the soul cleans
ed and inhabited by God, and constantly
borne out of itself, frees US from the more
painful conditions Of mortality, and enables
US every day to put on interruption. Words
worth has finely described this state Of
mind as ..r

Foreigners in Government Employ.

EOIolSn0Is III OOteIunnent Gup1Vy'
Some months since, we published list
Of the employees in the Office of the United
States Coast Survey, together with their
nativities and salaries. We then gave a
practical demonstration of the fact that the
administration favored foreigners, both in
prefering them to natives, and also BY Civ
ing them the highest salaries. The "less-
er organ" Of the administration admitted
the facts then stated, and attempted to
excuse the administration on the ground
that they "were employed in the discharge
of scientific and artistic duties," which
"not more than dozen Americans were
competent to perform" We are by no
means willing to admit such to be fact.
Our limied experience has satisfied us that
American mechanics are as skillful, inge-
nious, and in every respect as competent as
those who have been imported by this ad-
ministration.
Connected with the Office of the Coast
Survey, and under the supervision of the
same man, Professor A. d. Bache, is the
Office of United States Weights and Meas
ures. There are no artists employed in
this office, yet the following statement,
with which we have been furnished by a
former employee in the office, demonstrates
the foreign affinities of this administration.
We give the name, salary, and nativity of
the EMPLOYEES in that office:

COMMENCEMENT OF THE BOMBARDMEN {

Tho general bcmbardment of Sebastopol was recon.
msnced the 9th Of june with what result has not
transpired.
The war news by this arrival consists mostly Of de-
tails OF previous government telegraphs
Details hand 0. the affair before Sebasopol night
of May 20, but the main facts previously known.
The details show great galantry the par. of the
French bat also show that the victory not in
atty afurther success. but merely successful attempt
to destroy very dangerous works which the Russians had
erected In front OF their Defence and which would have
outaaDked the French attack. The Russian plan was
TO unite all their ambuscades, by line OF gabions
necd BY continuous covered way with their present
dsfsness; to enclose in fact entirely space Of
ground The French plan was to carry this de.
fencs and transform II into French position which
was accomplished at immense loss which, says PeIis
sier, gave to the engagement the proportions Of
battle. Pelissisr's despatch is quite Interesting.
Details have also been received of the allied advance
tho TchsrnAya Ths allied force consisted OF 20 COO
men, Fresch, Sardinans and Turks The Russians AIDE
No opposition but retired With their guns The condi
ton OF the ground shows that the Russians nevsr ia
tended to maintain the position. New reconnoisauces
had been made, and . further advance was expected
The tseapbic accounts indicate that the allies ara vet
on thsir own side Of the river.
Details have been received likewise Of the capture Of
Kertoh. The invading force numbered nearly 10000
xen-nsmsiy 900 French, 5000 Turks, and Eng.
Ih In steamers. The expedition entered the
stysit Of Ksrtoh THURSDAY the 24th and commenced
hrns upon the forts Of Ambsa the garsons Of which
speedily abandoned the place, having previously blown
up the magazines The allied gunbosts silenced the
Psuioviskaya battery, and burned Russian boas
and small craft. The gsrrsons Of Ksrtch and Yeni-
kae, varousy estimated at from two TO ten thousand
strong were seen TO leave and fall back into The interior
BY the southern road. Meantime the allies landed,
without oppcstor, at Ambssk where they bivousoked
for the night The next morning they moved on
towards Ksrtoh. Gunboats were all the time occup,ed
