From Europe.

The latest news is by the Ariel, which or
rived ut New York on Friday, with Londol
dates OF the lst. Affairs before Sebastopo
were unchanged. The Russian version of th
battle Of the Tchernaya is as follows
'Desirous Of turning away the enemy from
the siege-works of Sebastopol and at the ,am.
time to make sure Of the forces of the allies
| Prince Gortschakof undertook an offensiy,
movement in the valley Of the Tchernavf
with portion of the troops encamped or
/ Mackenzie heights
'on the 4th U6th) of Augusts Mt 4 a. m.
these troops divided themselves into two col
umns the right commanded by Aide-de
! Camp General Read took a front direction
/ against the so-called Fedukhin heights, and
! the left, commanded by Lieutenant General
Liprandi advanced on Tchorgoun In mo.
ment the two columns drove away the enemy
from the right bank Of the Tchernaya Lieut.
General Liprandi occupied the heights Of
Ichorgoun. On its sido the right column
advanced with extraordinary rapidity to.
wards the river, crossed it under the violent
fire of the eneiny' IS batteries, then crossed a
large canal of the aqueduct, and carried on
by the excitement of battle advanced directly
ON the Fcdukhine heights
in the interval the enemy had already had
time to bring considerable forces to tho men
accd point OF their fortified position. The
! troops of the rights column, who were scaling
the cscarpment, met desperate resistance
there. All the efforts Of our brave infantry
were fruitlcss. On this occasion we suffered
disastrous loss, General Read and the chief Of
his staff, Ma General de Weinarn were
the first tD fall
The Commander-inC Chief, however, hast

seeing that our troops were wasting their
heroic efforts on that point ordered retreat
beyond the Tchernaya.
Having retired to about half-cannon range,
Prince Gortschakoif ordered his lines of bat
lie to halt, in the hope that the enemy would
pursue us and offer us an opportunity of fight
ing them in the open field. The allies, how
ever, did not stir from their positions after
remaining four hours in view of the adversa-
rics our troops quietly returned to Maken-
ze heights.
In announcing with grief the losses we
have suffered. Prince Gortschakoff at the
same time pays a tribute to the unexampled
courage displayed by our troops in the san
culinary combat of the 4th U6th) August,
and he attributes the losses to the excess of
ardor of the right column.
The enemy having driven back our attack
did not dare to take the offensive, despite its
numerical superiority
The report of Omar Pasha's having been
appointed Commander -in-Chef of all the
Turkish forces is confirmed. All the horses
and mules belonging to the Turkish general
staff, as also part of the tents, have been
sent from Baaklava to Sinope, to which place
the gros of the Turkish army is to GO
The Parish correspondent of the London
Time, writes that the opinion gains ground
that Austria incines more to active co-opera-
ton with the Allies.

Petitions to the Legislature.

II will be recollected by the friends of Tenn
perance, that, at the last Session of the Gene.
raj Assembly, the Senate passed somo very
important and necessary amendments to the
present Prohibtory Liquor Law 1t will be
also remembered, and that too, with regret
I that the amendments were lost in the House
1t was there insisted that the Temrerance
public were satisfied with the law rs it is,
and there being no petitions presented to that
body, asking for amendments, was urged as a
reason why none should be made
On this occasion, the dersigned, Execu
tive Committee of the State Temperance So
cletv, believe that the sentiments and wis q
| OF the Temperance community were misre-
| presented, if not misunderstood. We be-
lieve the best interests Of the State and the
public good require that our Prohihitory svs-
ten should be made perfect ms it can be
by human wisdom, 50 that the evils of intcm
perancc may be, if possible. at once ended
The sooner this is done the better. We re-
gard it the duty of the Legislature to watch
over. guard and protect all the interests Of
the Republic, and no measure can be adopted
OF more interest to the State than one which
shall wholly prevent the use Of intoxicating H.
quors as beverage. Such we also believe to he
the sentiments Of large majority Of the free
men of the State.
To guard against another failure, and in
accordance with the views of the State Socie-
ty, as expressed at their meeting in St Al
bans. in January last. we earnestly recon-
mcnd to the friends of Temperance in each
town to send petitions to the next General
Assembly making known to that body their
wishes in regard to the law. We are aware
that it will require some labor, but we hope
no pains will be spared to procure full ex-
preston of public sentiment on this subject.
This is one of those cases. where the Legisla-
ture requires line upon line and precept upon
precept, and no light should be with holden
from them.
For convenience, and to secure brevity and
uniformity, we have prepared form of petit
ton, which will accompany this paper This
can be copied, or cut from tho paper and
used. Still we wish it to be understood.
that all are at liberty to prepare their own
petitions, and should any wish to express,
their views more fully by way of petition,
we hope they will avail themselves of the
privilege.

MILK CLEAN.-In some careful experiments
made by DR.. Anderson, the quantity Of cream
obtained from the first drawn cup of milk
was in every case much smaller than the
last drawn and those between afforded less
or more as they were nearer the beginning or
the end. The quantity of the cream obtained
from the last drawn cup from some cows, ex-
ceeded that from the first in the proportion
OF sixteen to one. In others the proportion
was not so great. Probably says DR..
Anderson, 'on On average of great many
cows, it m ght he found to run as ten or
trelve 10 one The difference in the quail
ity Of the cream was also much greater than
the difference in quantity. From this it ap-
pears, that the person who by bad milking
Of his cows, loses but half pint Of milk
loses in fact about as much cream as would
be afforded by six or eight pints at the begin
ming, and loses, besides, that part Of the
cream which alone ran gire -ichnsis and
fdror to ms buttcr.'

Seeding Grass Land in Autumn.

The Boston Cultivator has an excellent
article on this subject. Essays
Where it is desired to keep land unintcr-
ruptedly in grass, autumn seeding may be
practised with advantage Under favorable
circumstances, there is by this mode no loss
Of hay crop, even for one season. But all
seasons are not equally favorable for seeding
at this time Last year, for instance, tie
ground wa. 50 dry as to be difficult to rlow,
in some cases, and if the seed was sown, it
either failed to germinate or came up too scat
terlng.
At the presant time, however, the mois-
ture of the ground will render working it
comparatively easy, and the seed will start
vigorously at once No time should be lost
after the hay is off, in inverting the sward,-
If this is done during damp, warm weather,
decomposition takes place Immediately,
which aid, the growth OF the new grass. The
ground, powed under such circumstances.
will probably retain water enough to support
the young crop. Whatever tertilising matter
is used, it should be in such a condition that
it can be readily incorporated with the soil,
on the inverted burrows, as it will thus afford
much more benefit to the grass-giving il n
strength of root which will enable it to with
stand the winter, and insuring its early and
vigorous growth the following season
As to the time of seeding, perhaps from
the first to the middle Of September, as
general rule, may he preferable, but we
should not hesitate to SOW few days earlier
| or later according to convenience.
lIerdgrass (Phieum praterss) and red-top
| (Agro,ts) are the kinds of grass usually
sown in autumn. Red clover will do well on
land which is so dry that the roots are not
liable to be thrown out by frost, Twelve
quarts of herdsgra.s and sixteen quarts Of
] al -ton tn 70 ha
acre, without other seed, The large red-top,
which is considerably later in ripening than
the small red-top, or fine top, i. preferable,

| herdsgras., as the Two are in proper state
for cutting nearly at the same time,

FRrcH1ruLL FALL.-On Thursday of last
week, Philip Tobin, young man in the en-
ploy of Mr. c. Stevens, fell from the dome of
the new Town Hall. at Castleton, upon which
he was at work. Striking the roof of the
building, thirty feet below the point from
which he first fell, he slipped over the caves
and to the ground. Medical aid was prompt
ly procured, and upon examination not Il
bone was found to be broken; and at last
accounts the injured man was in fair way
for recovery The point where he first lost
his footing is nearly seventy feet above the
