to DANGER which some of the men acquire from con-
stantIy moving amongst shot and SHE'LL the following
example, which occurred last evening. may be men
toned "A large shot had been thrown from the Re
dan into our right attack, and during its passage the
fusee had accidentally dropped out The shell fell,
therefore, like round shot, into part of the approach
connected with the old advanced or third parallel
Some men of the 47th regiment were near, waiting
for the reiefs to arrive, and ready to return to camp
One of these soldiers, after examining the unexplo-
ded SHE'LL actually had the foohardiness to jerk the
ashes of the tobacco in his piPe which he had Just
finished smoking into the fusee-hole
Another of the men standing by and observing inc
action had only just time TO utter an exclamation
when the shell burst. The reckless author OF the
mischief suffered severely-both his legs were shat
tered and he was frighnuly scorched in the face
Five other men were wounded, but fortunately none
were dangerously hurt 1t is presumed that the man
had no idea of any of the ppeash being sufficiently
hot to cause ignition of powder In the she'll lnstan'
ces of men exposing themselves TO imminent hazard,
by showing their position to the enemy, occur daily
even in the most advanced works; and it often re-
uuires the greatest watchfuness the part OF the OF.
fcers to make them sufficiently thoughtful of their
own safety and that of others around them.
A CIRCAssIAN IN CAMP.-July 27.-1he fire in the
batteries was very heavy and continued necessarily
all night. A Circassian chief, apparently OF very
high rank with staff of FIVE six attendants, was
escorted over the works on the Mamelon Vert by a
French general officer to-day. The novelty of his
costume equally with that OF his followers, who all
carried the cartridges for their pistols slng in row
like necklace, and dependent upon Their highly
embroidered vests, attracted general attention they
rode through the camp. They were powerfully
framed men, and had spirited and solderlike
bearing The officers of engineers in the field are
much reduced in number The arrival of others is
said to be daily expected.
| The BALTIC.-1here is every indication OF coup
de main tie be attempted against one more of the
Baltic ports. All the ships Of both fleets being
collected at Nargen, and letters mention general
anticipation that Sweaborg and Helsingtors will be
Immediately attacked.
The Times Paris correspondent writes
II am assured that letters have been received from
French consul at of the Baltic ports announc-
ing that the allied squadrons had attacked Reve
that the attack successful, and that considerable
damage done to the place"

nz- Mile. Rachel, the celebrated French tragic
actress arrived al New York, N the Pacific, to give
series of representations of the classic French Drama
in the United States The terms of her engagement
are said to be fabuously high-they are certainly ex-
travagant.
The. italian Opera has always been something OF
bumbug-tE e language of the Gbretto being unintel-
lgible 10 the great body Of the people, and partcu-
lary so to that class OF upstairs known as Goldfish
aristooracy,' or FifhAvencodes. But, at ic"st the
music was independent Of language or Dialect and
some gems could be caught by amost anybody TO DC
strumued on all the pianos and whistled by all tho
little niggers in the land. But surely, the idea Of
listening for hours TO tragedy in foreign language
of which not ten words be understood by one
person III twenty of the audience, appears TO US pre-
MYSTERIOUS in the extreme. The delicate shades OF
thought and expression the clear rendering of every
line, The accurate tone of every word, which form
the strong points of the Fgreat classical actor must
all be lost upon an audience. to whom her words are
merely sounds
No better illustration of fashionable hypocrisy need
be sought for than that to be presented by brill
liant and fashionable house going into raptures
over something of which they must necessarily be
profoundly ignorant. Rachel or her manager must
lose money.

az- The Free-Soilers of Kanzas, TO the number of
six hundred, held a meeting in Lawrence, in that
Territory on the 18th inst at which they passed
outons denying the legality of the Legislature, and
pledging those present to resist lis authority The
resolutions also recommend the election of delegates
to convention to form State constitution in view
of an immediate State organization, and applica-
tion to the next Congress for admission State.
All this amounts 10 nothing. fit comes to forc
BILE resistance, the abOi9piss will stand no chance
against the Missouri settlers and for admission
State, that won't happen for some time. The truth
is that we hardly think Kanzas will be able to
show the requisite population. The state of things
in that e:rory is too unsettled to invite permanent
emigration to it.
