"Prince Gortschkofi' has received fall pow.
crs to destroy the remains of the Russian
fleet in the Bay of scbastopo on the day on
which the garrison may be forced to retire
to the north. 1t is hoped that before that
day shall arrive, all objects belonging to the
State and to private persons can be removed
to Nicholaicf. This proves that no illusions
are entertained as to the fate of the southern
part OF Sebastopo'; and that part is indeed
already represented in Russian letters to be
only II heap of ruins"

FOREIGN lNFLUENcE.-T The American Par
ty-There is truth and wisdom timely pre-.
scnted in the following extract from clear
and strong editorial in the Lexington (Ky.)
Observer.
Let the Know NothinCs be crushed to the
earth; let the party be disenteregated if YOU
please; let power fall wherever YOU may
choose, the demands of the American party
must be obcyed. The people Of this conn.
try are loyal, ard they will ask their rulers
to pass laws for them, but if they fail to do
so. they will pass them for themselves.
1t is vain for us to endeavor TO change
the nature of man. All nations, from all
men, have distrustcd foreigners, and when
ever the foreign population crowds upon the
native, there must be strife and ultimate sub.
jugatOn. Up to n certain point brave and
generous people will receive outcast foreign
ers in their midst; they will adopt certain
number of children; but there is stopping
point, and when there is an crdeavor made
to pass it, there must and viii! be strfr.--
We, therefore, say, no matter what party
obtains :hc co"!rol Of Hie government, that
the wishes of the people, vague and indelino
though they may be, must be speedily obey
ed. immigration must be restricted, and
those who think that the agitation of the
country will cease when the American party
is crushed, are blind indeed.
The old American party was ground into
the dust, but the men who composed 1t still
lived, and though they fought in the ranks
of other parties, they retained their old sen.
timents, and only awaited IN opportunity to
re-assert them. In the same manner il the
new American party is overthrown. the men
that compose it will still live and the strife
must go on, and at last their object he effected.
We regard the final achievement of the aims
OF the American party as something beyond
the possibility Of II doubt, for to doubt this. is
to doubt the future supremacy Of the Amcri.
can people on American soil.

~ The London Medical Gazette gives
the result Of numerous experiments with
roasted coffee, proving that it is the most
powerful means, not only of rendering animal
and vegetable efiluvia mnocuous, but of ac-
tually destroying them. A room in which
meat in an advanced degree of decomposition
had been kept for some time was instantly
deprived Of all smell, on an open coffee roas-
ter being carried through it containing n
pound Of coffee newly roasted. In another
room exposed TO efiluvium occasioncd by the
clearing out of u cess. pool, so that suphurret.
ed hydrogen and ammonia in great quantities
could be chemically detected, the stencil was
completely removed within half n minute, on
the employment of three ounces of fresh
roasted coffee; whilst the other parts of the
house were permanently cleared of the same
smell by being simply traversed with the COT
fee roaster, although the cleansing of the cess
pool continued several hours after. The best
mode of using the coffee as Il disinfectant is
to dry the raw bean, pound it in Il mortar, and
then roast the powder on moderately heated
iron plate until it assumes dark brown tint,
when it is fit for use. Then sprinkle it in
sinks or ess.poos, or lay it on plate in the
room which you wish TO have purified Cof.
fee acid or coffee oil acts more readily in
minute quantities.

the flames till the red glass came. A candle
