.. HALIFAX, OCt. S
The Canada sailed $40 p. NJ. for Boston,
where she wilt be due about 8 o'clock A. M.
Thursday. Gortschakof reporte on the 18th
that the Allies had attempted nothing up to
that date on the north side but were concentra-
ting their forces between Balaklava and Tcher-
maya and constantly accommodating the left
wing of the Russians. Letters from the camp
state that the allies We're actively pressing for
a campaign. From 300 to 400 deserters,
most of them Poles, had arrived at the allies
camp. -fst saal4
They stated that the decentralization of the
Russian army was most complete and such was
the conclusion from the first moment OF the at
tack that the soldiers exhausted with fatigue
remained "a hours without food. The loss Of
the Russians is estimated at $4,000 men. A
correspondent of the Paris Pafrie under date
of Goth, says ever since their retreat, the Rus
slams have continued to fire shells at us and it
would be mistake to suppose that our army
in Sevastopol is beyond the reach Of the ene-
mics batteries on the north side and on the
plateau. The balls from Fort Constantine
reached beyond STalitzka bay and they can
very easily throw them into the town.
AS to the batteries of the other forts, some
Of the guns in them are so powerful that they
can carry shot right over the town, and do exc
cution on the advanced siege works. But al
though the Russian fire does not cease, it is
not very active. The artillery in Sevastopol
are everywhere at work. Fort St. Nicholas which
was left almost intact, has been fortified and
its cannon alreadyreachcs to the enemy. Any
attempt of the Russians to return to the place
is wholly out of the question.
The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at
Nicholof on the Doth, and it was said the Gear
himself would shortly visit there to superintend
the winter Crmea Campaign.
A letter from Berlin dated 23d says Various
circumstances at St. Petersburg seem to indi-
cate thai Gvtsvi,a,,,, VII; wiz, ,,,,; v"ate the

yellow Fever a, Norfolk and por.sms.sh.

IRON the Baltimore Patriot, Oct 2d.)
The boat arrived this morning from Norfolk,
bringing Drs. Briggs and Riser, Of Philadelphia,
also 'Messrs. Reside and Butler, apothecaries, Of
this city, and seven nurses-among them we have
the names of Floyd, Butrick, Wilson, Kelley, and
John Mills, the latter having in charge the bag
gage of DIR. Cole, of Philadelphia, and Singleton
Mercer, both of whom died in Portsmouth. DIR.
Briggs has been in Portsmouth thirty-three days,
and DIR. Rizer forty, and both have had the fever,
the latter only just able to ride, and is in the care
of DIR. Briggs. They left in the nine O'Clock train
for Philadelphia. DIR. Cole of Philadelphia, and
DIR. Hunter Of New York, both volunteers, died on
Sunday-tho former was i'll only "a hours, and
volunteer physicians who have died inPortsmouth,
all of whom were north of that place. Only four
resident physicians have died. DIR. Thomas, of
Cincinnati, was taken suddenly i'll on Friday, but
was convalescing, and strong hopes were had of
his recovery. lie is the only one now left in
nearly we'll, and will probably return in the next
| boat.
Up to yesterday at noon there were 5 deaths in
Portsmouth,; on Sunday 7, and on Saturday 49,
so that the disease is greatly abatng, but this is
owing to the want of material. There are now
l25 down, and among them are many of the Irish
who have recently returned from the precincts,
and most of the recent deaths of this class; in
Norfolk there is much greater abatement than in
! Portsmouth, the deaths being some or day.
] A very few have resumed business; and all the
volunteer physicians and nurses are getting ready
| to leave.
1t has been ascertained that there have been
1000 deaths in Norfolk--among them were 10 resi-

the deaths have reached about $50, as near as can
be estimated. .a5-f .l.s4 .A7s .7a.-ez

THE SOUND DUES,

The controversy which for some time past has
been going on between the United States and Den
mark, and which gives strong evidence of rup-
ton between these two nations, gives interest to
the following extract taken from the columns of an
Eastern journal:
s'The Sound is narrow strait lying between
the Island Zetland, belonging to the Danes, and
the Swedish coast. and gives entrance tn the Bal
tic sea. The fortress of Cornburg Castle COM
mands the passage, and extracts payment from
all vessels entering the Baltic; the ships of Dem
mark herself having to pay as we'll as foreign
tonnage. The orig gin of this exacton is that in
ancient times Denmark undertook to build and
sustain certain lighthouses along the coast,
for which the jamestown agreed to pay toll.
England, France, Holland, and Sweden paw a
duty OF one per cent on every cargo entering the
Baltic. Other countries, including the United
States, pay one and quarter per cent; even
Danish ships are taxed to this rate. In the year
1926 Il treaty recognizing this duty was conclud-
ed between the United States and Denmark. This
treaty, however, according to one of it's stpua-
tions, may be dissolved by either of the parties,
provided it gives one years notice of its inten-
ton: and, the requisite notice having been given
by the United States Government in April last,
the treaty will terminate next spring."
The controversy is exciting much attention in
all the Captols of Europe, the pens of the ablest
writer's being imployed in its discussion. There
seems to be but on, opinion upon the subject of
this unjust and onerous taxation upon the COM
merce of The world, and that is in favor of the
United States. The Danish government, howev-
err, is determined to withstand our demands, and
the United States appears Just as much deter
mined to enforc, til IN. How it will end, time will
show. a,sL -

| GENERAL WAsHINGToN's APPEARANcE.-The
Counter del Etat Unis publishes fragment of a
Journal of NJ. de Broglie, written in 1882 in
which the personal appearance and manners
of Washington were described by French
man:
''The General is about forty -nine years of age;
he is large, finely made, very well proportioned.
His figure is much more pleasing than the por-
| traits representing it. He fine looking till
within about three years; and, although those who
have been constantly with him since that time say
that he seems to have grown old Fast, it is unde-
niable that the General is still fresh and active
as young man. -.-f 1852 s1a. ..s.a-at
His physiosnomy is pleasant and open; his adj
dress is cold though polite; his pensive eye is
| more attentive than sparkling; but his aspect is
kind, noble, and composed. lie maintains, in his
private department, that polite and attentive de-
cency which satisfies ALL and thrt reserved digni

tentation and van-glory. His character is always
equal; modest to humility, he seems not to
estimate himself duly: he receives with good grace

courts it. His society is agreeable and pleasing.

which he inspires never becomes painful. lie
talks little, in general, and in avery low tone of
voice; but he Is SO attentive TO what is said to
him, that you arc satisfied that he understands
you, and are almost willing to dispense with re-
ply. This conduct has often been of advantage
to him in various circumstances: no one has more
occasion, than he to use circumspcction, and to
weigh his words. "a I1G

FAMILY AFFLIcrIoN.-We find in the Northern
Advocate letter from the Rev. Beverly Waugh,
senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
to the Rev, DIR. Luckoy, descriptive Of the state
in which be found his family on his recent return
from an Official visit to Western New York the
Bishops letter is dated, Baltimore, Sept. II.
Mrs. Waugh had sister residing in poor strick-
en- Norfolk; she, with three sons, had como to
Baltimore week before my return, and was inn
mediately attacked by the yellow fever, and
within three days she was in her grave! And in
twenty four hours was followed by her son, u
young man about twenty-thrce years old My
dear wife was in bed sick, when her sister arrived.
Our son, Alexander Townsend, had been quite un-
we'll, having cold, clammy swoats, by which he
was very much deblitated, and this gave rise to
u report that he had been attacked with the yell
low fever. You may imgaine the situation in
which l found my household. Our neighsors
were too much alarmed to come in, and the hired
woman became so much alarmed that she went
of. Fortunately, Mrs. Waugh's oldest sister was
with her. She got to our house too late to see
her sister, but in time to look upon her dying
nephew. AS soon after my return as nv son was
able to travel with safety, got them all off for
the country, and they are about one hundred and
Waush's sister. Mrs. Waugh has received great
shock, and time will be requisite for her relief.
My poor afflicted brother in law is still in Nor
folk, if living. Since his wife left home, another
of their sons, who remained in Norfolk has fallen
a victim to the epidemic and an old servant like
wise. am now fully convinced that the yellow
fever is not contagious out of the infected locale
ty. There have been number of deaths in this
city of those who contracted the disease at Nor
folk, but not one case has been known of its COM
muncation to any of the families in which those
deaths have occurred. l have seen all our chill
dren since my return, except our daughter
Thank God, they are all we'll. My own health
continues to improve Yesterday I preached
about an hour, with considerable physical force
without much fatigue, and afterward, before dis
missing the congregation, received thirty nine
persons on probation. The pastor was sick. and
requested to perform this service in his stead.

The TELEGRAPH AND THE WAR.-One of the most
suggestive facts in connection with the Eastern
war, is the use to which the telegraph. eminently
an invention Of peace, has been put. In tbegreat
European struggle, which ended with the exile of
Napoleon, days and even weeks elapsed before
some of the most important events were known in
Paris and London. The news of Waterloo took
longer time to reach the British capital than the
news of the fall Of Sebastopol. The news Of Mos
cow, Aboukir and the Pyramids was week, a
fortnight and month old respectively, on arriv-
ing at Paris. But the intelligence of the capture
of the Malakoff, was at the sTuillerics and st.
James though distant from Scbastopol the length
of an entire continent, while the sky still red
with the conaagration of the town, while the mag
azines we're still exploding, while the retreating
Russians we're still thronging over the bridge
Almost indeed before the bombs had ceased to
hum through the heavens, or the Kissing of the
round shot had given way TO the roar of burning
houses, the people, in London and Paris, were
shouting over the victory, and the church bells of
England were clamoring, from lands end to lands
end. It is an event like this which makes men
realize what the magnetic teieSraphis.
