THE ASIA'S MAILS.

The Asias mails bring more details of the
Allies operations before Sebastopol:
The general conclusion Of the press, ''that
the Mamelon and White Tower have been
AIKEN by Gen. Pelissier, amounts to more
than that the approaches to an important
bastion on the East front of the south side
Of Sebastopol, have at length been secured.
When the Malakof bastion and tower shall
in their turn have fallen, deadly wound will
have been inflicted upon Sebastopol."
1t is remarked too, in the House of Com
mons, desprecate the sanguine conclusions OF
the press and ths public, and that the hither-
to reliable Russian dispatches manifest nc
depression, and speak of communication by
way Of the Isthmus of Perekop, as unlikely
TO be intercepted. Nevertheless, new life
has been infused into the allied armies by
General Pelisser, wha seems determined that
his forces shall not at least not rot idly away
Mr. Golden is quoted too, as saying:
"Five months ago, Russia gave notice that
It was intended to abandon Kertch and nc
doubt it was the same with Berdiansk and
other places in the Sea ofAzoff From what
he gathered, there was great exaggeration
with regard to this expedition to the Sea Of
Azoff. If there was really anything in it.
what must now be the reflection Of those who
had the ships to undertake it long ago. He
believed that the supplies of Sebastopol came
entirely from Perekop, and that that place
and Simpheropol, were strongly fortified like
Sebastopol, and that both must be taken be
fore you could intercept the food of the Rus
sian army and take Sebastopol"

TuEpaPAL POWER,

The n. Y. Journal Of Commerce notices,
at length, the efforts of Spain and Sandman
Governments TO effect some temporal inde-
pendence Of the Pope of Rome. The sub
stance of the contest is thus summed up
"The powerful vassals of the Pope have
thus virtually thrown off the yoke Of tempo
rel power. The hand of ecclesiastical tyran-
ny which has weighed heavily upon them for
centuries, has been shaken away, and the
chief cause of ages of political paralysis re.
moved. What England and Germany did
three hundred years ago; has now been done
in part by Spain and Sardinia but unfortu-
nately the same weapons of intrigue, ecclesl-
astcal censure, and alternating threats and
cajolery. are evidently preparing by Rome
now, that were used in former days and
there is every reason to fear that modern re.
formers will encounter as many troubles and
cares in perfecting their patriotic work as
were suffered then. The relations between
Sardinia and Rome have been recently most
unfriendly, and the whole weight of Clergy
influence has been thrown into the anti-pro-
gress scale.
According to the latest intelligence from
Europe, "The Pope was also profoundly df-
ficted, ut the state of things in Spain and
the general opinion was that the diplomatic
relations between that Kingdom and him
would speedily cease" IT was rumored that
the Spanish Minister at Rome, M. Pacheco
would be handed his passports, and confidert
hopes were entertained that the influence oi
the clergy over the people would be sufficient
to excite them to rise in force and overthrow
the Espart government. The monks had be.
gun to agitatc the minds of the superstitious
and ii has already been giren out at Madrid
that an image Of The .Sdrior, in the Church Of
ST. Francis had swedt blood ont of grief .for
the sale Of church property! Some euen affirm.
ed that Mey had piped of blood from tie i'm.

And for what To retain the possession o

sg" The CIoPs.-The general impression
is now that the new crops of grain give pro-
mise of an average yield, and as more acres
have been sowed than usual, there is pros
pect that grain will be abundant, unless some
untoward event should intervene between
this and harvest The continued wet weather,
will, no doubt, put back the season for har-
vest, at least week or ten days, and may,
perhaps, prevent the filling of the grain per-
fectly We have also learned that the weevil
has been found in number of the wheat
fields, which has induced some of our farmers
to SOW slaked lime over the fields as reme-
dy. The fly has been found in some fields of
rye, this season, which is something unusual.
What we want now is several weeks warm
dry weather. This will mature the crops Of
wheat and rye, and greatly invigorate the
growing fields of corn, which are not only
backward, but have sickly and feeble look,
owing to the frequent rains and continued
moist weather.

delphia, on Friday, the 22d inst, the Hon.
VIM. l. Helfenstien was elected President
of the Company, in place Of David Longe-
necker, Esq, resigned. Although the Com
pany may regret the loss of the services of
Mr.. Longenecker, whose active and energetic
business habits have done much towards the
completion Of this work, they have been nev-
ertheless, fortunate in securing the services of
Judge Heliensten, the early and constant
friend Of this great improvement, who is no
less energetic and persevering than. his pre-
decessor in Office. The Company is now do
ing fine business and the prospects for a
largely increased business, are most favorable
The following is a copy of the letter of
resignation, and resolution of the Board of

Eay' An accident occurred on the Sunbury
and Erie rail road last week, short distance
above Milton. A land slide from the hill
side, occurred just before the train approach
ed, at full speed. The speed of the engine
and train would have cleared the obstruction,
but for log that rolled in the way, which
turned the engine and baggage car over into
the Canal. The passengers escaped unhurt.
The hands on the engine came off with good
ducking in the canal, accompanied with a
few slight bruises.

HARVESTING IN VIRGINIA.-The farmers OF
Virginia have commenced harvesting their
wheat. The crop is generally considered
good, except in the Southwest of the State
where the fly has injured it but as large
quantities of wheat were sown it is expected
that the harvest will be more abundant than
usual. The drying of the straw Immediately
below the head by which the ascent of sap is
arrested, is said TO be one of the most reliable
indications Of the maturity of the plant, and
of the necessity Of cutting and curing it.

The Prohibitory Liquor Law seems to be
fated to evasion. We already stated West
ern decision to the effect that single bottles
Of wine, brandy, etc. are "original packages
within the meaning of the law, and may there
fore be sold legally; and also New York
decision to the effect that ale is not strong
drink, and therefore the sale cannot be for
hidden. We have now another decision in
CONNECTICUT, in the case OF the city Hotel at
Hartford, which is that the liquor in an inn
or hotel is for the convenience Of the dodgers
and guests, and not flr Miscellaneous sale
Under these various decisions, it appears that
people may buy aud drink imported liquors
by the bottle as before, and that hotels, inns,
&c. are permitted to supply their guests with
liquors.
