ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival Of the North Star.


Tie American steamship North STAR Captain
Wamack. belonging to the Vanderbilt line Of
steamers, has arrived from Hayre and South
ampton, with dates to the evening Of the 81 in
slant.
The North Star lief: Cowes roads at daybreak
Oh the 18th.
By this arrival. we receive the second edition
Of the London Times Of that date. We are,
consequently, in possession Of one days later
news than that received by the mail steamship
from Liverpool.
There was no later news from the Crimea.
nor from any other quarter. Of much import
ance. a circular from Croskey d Co., at South
ampton, will be found IN our financial columns.
The Earl OF Carlisle, Lord Lieutenant Of Ire
land, has been making q speech at Belfast, an
the course of which he made the following aliu-
sion to the invasion OF Ireland by the United
States:
"The condition Of Ireland IS a. present such,
on the whole, as gives rise in my mind to the
strongest feeling Of satisfaction and Of hope.
There is generally manifest decrease Of out
rage and crime, with one or two occasional hid
eous exceptions, sufficient 10 warn US, where
human conduct is concerned, never TO presume.
Agriculture IS undergoing an immense develop
ment, and II must be the taa, of many Of you,
gentlemen, to soe that our manufacturing pro-
cesseS exhibit the same progress. New schools
Of education, new colleges of learning, new
temples of religion, are multiplying Oh every
side.
"The general condition Of the people is stri-
kingIy advanced in ease and comfort. They
are better fed, they are better clad, there IS an
infinitely greater proportion Of shoes and stock
ings laughter than when ! vas here last and
the new complaint Of ireland is, that there are
almost too few 10 work and too lew months To
be fed. 1 have heard, indeed, lately, something
of new arrivals being expected in this country
from America. Wen, then. gentlemen, will
they be all Irshmen, returning home 10 till
their fields again, to work their looms again,
to kiss their wires and families again? If SO,
we will heartily bid them welcome, provided
they at least come in some moderation. Can
it be that they could come. that any could come
here, with any hostile nteniiOn2
II feel sure that the good sense. as well as
the good feeling, Of ali truehearted lrishmen
or Americans, would repudiate the nonstruus
supposi,ion. Loud cheers. If, contrary to
all expectation and all reason, they would so
come, ought not 20 say that they would not be
a., welcome a. ths Cths-s hut % this feel cor
ten:-that the Antrim Rifles, whom 1 left in
Dublin. and the North Down Rifles, whom I
find in Belfast, viii be able to give very good
account of them. But we viii not let such mon
strous images mar our social harmony, and /
would rather leave you with bright Impressions
about you OF successful commerce, rewarded

The United States vessels Of war Congress-
and Saranac had been at Naples, and left for
Constantinople.
The following is a condensed translation Of
a long (Russian) letter Of the 10Th, received
by the DSt Dcltssche Post from Odessa:
"By advices from Simphercpol, we learn
that there is a great movement in that city.
Many Of the inhabitants are moving 10 the
north, and all the hospitals are being removed
to Perekop, Nicoaief and ChersoG.' The
prices o. provisions at Simpheropol are enOr-
nous. The Russian corps Of observation he
fore Eupstoria consists of 10000 (?) men, 10000
Of whom cavalry.
" Intelligent military men are of opinion
that an advance from Eupatoria and Simphero-
pol and Baktshisera, would be a bad move.
unless the Allies had powerful cavalry force
and plenty of artillery al their disposal. The
opinion OF the Anglo-French press, that Prince
GortscLakof Is in critical position. is posi-
lively ridiculous. His whole army is now mo
bile, which naturally WIS not the case as long
as he had to defend the south OF SebastopOl.
II Is mistake to believe that Sebastppol was
the arsenal from which the whole army drew
its material. Between the LIST Of March and
the 5th of August, the fortress o. Kief alone
sent 100000 bombs, grenades, and 4o-lb. and
96-lb. balls, to the CriInea.
The State paid roubles and 10 copecks
in silver for the transport Of each pud labout
80 lbs. English from Kief to Sebastopol Du-
ring the last few DAYS. the famous engineer,
Maj. Gen. TOdtleben, has been here. The head
quarters Of the southern army are 10 DC removed
from Odessa to Nicolaicff General of Cavalry
Won Helfrecht will succeed General LADDERS
here; his staff arrived Yesterday. Lieutenant
General Grotenhjelm has LETT, with the third
division OF light horse, for Oczal;oG. The com
mercial harbcr Of Oczakoii, which all ships
coming from Nicolaieh, Cherson, and Odessa,
entered, is of some importance"
From the Correspondence ofthe London Times
Paris. Noe. 1.-The N0nitel,r contains an
imperial decree, confirming the promotion Of
81 persons, belonging to the army Of TIE East
to the rank Of officer, and the nomination Of
572 to the honor Of knight Of the legion Of
honor, as well as the grant OF l.2S4 military
medals, conferred by Marshal Pelissier. The
numerous list comprises persons of every grade,
from colonel down to private. 1t extends over
every arm in the service, including the classes
known as non.combaiants, but whsse services
are not the less important IN the field; while
to the name Of every recipient is appended
note of his time of service with the army, Of
the campaigns in which he has been engaged,
the number Of wounds he received on former
occasions, and the particular acts which, on the
present occasion, entitle him TO be enrolled
among the corps Of the legion OF honor.
The list opens with the officers of the staff,
(Etat- MAJOR, who are named officers of the le-
gion OF honor; and among the names mention
ed, 1t is not probable that any one owes his pro-
motion or other honor TO any near family con
nection with the Minister Of War, to political
influence, or to the fact of his being the son,
nephew, cousin, or "toady," Of any member of
the aristocracy The first mentioned is Lien
tenant Colonel Joinville, Who is described in
the appended note as having served thirty-one
years, and as having taken part in eleven cam
paigns He was created simple knight of
the Order in 1888, and is further noted as "a
brave and vigorous officer"
Second, Captain dOrleans has twelve and a
half years service, three campaigns, and is
knight of the date Of July, 1913. Sub-Intend-
ant of the second class, De Puyparlier, has
twentyseven years service, and eight cam
paigns, and was knighted in lS41. The ser.
vice which procures him his present promo
ton in the legion of honor is thus simply re.
corded: " He directed with energy the ambu-
lance service of Karabelnaia on the 9Th and 9th
Of September"
Men are never so ridiculous from the quail
