FROM THE EAST

The correspondent of the Boston Journal
writing from COnstantinopIe, Sept. 8, give:
John Bull the following hard hit:
According to the latest accounts, the Eng
llsh were piscatorially engaged in fishing NJ
the Twelve Apostles, bObbing for the smaller
fry of the quandom Russian Navy, and SEEMING
the harbor for submerged cannon. Returning
empty handed from the oombastic lombard
ment of SweabOrg, with no laurels from the
spirited attack on evacuated Petropaulovski
they feel bound to cary home some trophies
to re assure that querulous old gentleman,
John Bull, that Britannia still rules the
waves. The English appear to be peculiarly
happy IN capturing defenceless places. One

pant IN tho ridiculous farce-assured me ten
hours after the Redan was known to have
been evacuated, the absurd order was given
to storm the place. Bugles sounded the as.
SAUL; drums beat the charge; generals gal
lantly led their divisions; aids de camp hurri-
ed TO and fro; officers could with difficulty
restrain the reckless impetuosity of their
troops. "With shout of Defiance" as an
English paper hath it, they rushed upon the
works and captured them in the most blood

shell had divided the wires of battery which
was TO explode concealed mines, else few had
escaped to tell the tale.
The Russians have showed much ingenuity
in their defences, and some of their operations
have puzzled John Bull. The same letter
says:
The capture of this place has solved 4
hitherto perplexing mystery to the Allied
engineers. Injured cannon were found con-
verted into mortars, by being embedded in
the ground up TO the muzzIe Thus pro-
tected from bursting, they received double
charge, were fired off by trains, and hurled
balls to an incredible distance. Anbulences,
far removed from the theatre of action, had
mysteriously suffered. Gen. Bentick's kitch-
en-, equally distant, tumbled about the man.
ciple's ears. In short, while Gen. Markham
was visiting his stables to admire charger
belonging to his mid de camp, ball struck
the favorite, killing it before his eyes. Where
do these balls come from? was the daily
cry. They fell from the skies like erolites,
apparently meteoric. Now another lesson
in gunnery has been taught by the despised
foe.

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENTs.-The following
occur in on article addressed to Mrs. f. CAKES
SMITH, in late number of the New York
Mirror
"The lines fall to us differently, dear Eva.
Some grope all their lives in stiiled corners,
because the iron hand of a destiny, which
they have not strength to override, is upon
them. Their spirits afe cramped, at last hope
lessly manned; the sources of life get turbid
and bitter; the light of heaven comes only
in gieams, revealing darkness and leaving it
more dense; they see no ministering spirits
feel no sweet influences; they curse God
and humanity, and die. Others bow meekly
to the rod, only stretching up appealing
hands, that they may not lose hold upon the
Arm, which thick clouds are hiding; by and
| by the clouds roll away, and they find them
selves sustained by the very Power which
smote them. Some bask always in the broad
sunlight, and know not of what manner of
mind they are. These never 90 down into
the depths-never ascend the heights of their
| being; they have no eye upon the celestial
mountain.tops, which token u Rest-a Home;
| To-day bounds the utmost sweep of their
| thought. And there are others, still, my
friend, who make toys of life's scourges; who
mould them into channels of influence, yehi-
! cles for advancement, or elements of holy
and great Purpose. These should pour the
oil of peace into the bitter waters by the
way. side; such as these should ift the fallen,
and point the plodder to gIittering goal"

icy The difficulty with Great Britain, up
on which the newspapers have been dwelling
with so much flucncy for the last week or
two, and which appears to have excited the
warike propensties of the government or
gan at Washington, is likely to turn out to
be very small affair-a little cloud no bigger
than mans hand, without the prospect Of
ever getting much larger. There seems to
be no other ground for the affair than the
fact that the British government had just or.
dered squadron to the West Indies to re-
eve the one already stationed there through
the year, concident with the appearance of n
bullying and injudicious article in the Lon
don Times. journal that has lost its pro-
priety entirely since the French succeeded in
capturing the southern portion of Sebastopol.
Neither England or France is in n condi-
tion to go to war with the United States
they both want the American people to feed
them, and not to fight them. 1t will be seen
by dispatch in another place, that the Amer
lean government has been officially advised
that the British government, in ordering the
new squadron to the West Indies, was influ.
enced by no motive of hostility or design
against this country.
The London Times may buster, and the
Washington Union have the bad taste to re-
tort in the same silly spirit, bat there IS no
more probability Of war between the United
States and Great Britain, than there is Of an
Improvement in the morals and manners of
the two government organs.
