nE-A Marseilles paper gives the following

account Of Russian amusements at Sebastopol:
Some days ago party of officers of the Rus
sian garrison sent band OF music to a charming
villa, al the head Of small bay al the bottom OF
tho harbor. From the French batteries we could
sec party Of egintly dressed ladies and their
partners gaily dancing the lawn before the
house. The natural politeness Of the French to-
wards the fair sex, and their innate love for the
amusement in which the officers and their fair
friends were engaged, made them 10th TO disturb
them. Our artillerymen, however, thought that
it would be just well TO remind them that a
permission from the French for their fete super
seeded any authorization from Count Osten Sacken
or from the Emperor Alexander himself, and in
order 10 do so a she'll was put in mortar, and
aimed with such precision that it fell just in front
of the house. No other was fired for the re-
mainder Of the day In the evening the cham.
payne began TO produce its natural effect and the
music kept up such tdpage that no ono could
sleep. il was necessary TO put an end TO the dis
turbance, and another iron messenger was placed
in a mortar, and careful aim being taken, was
dropped just in the middle Of the grass plot. The
warning was enough, as the party fled right and
left No one was hurt.

Democratic D,monstrntion

On Saturday last, in Hyde Park, the democracy
secured great triumph-they discovered mode
of harassing their wealthy prosecutors, anlethis
simple discovery was then and may hereafter be
made the source Of endless annoyance to Exeter
hall. Lord Robert Grosvenor, who is the very
pink Of pious peer, had procured tho assent Of
the House of Commons to his bill for suppressing
Sunday trading in the metropolis, by closing the
BARRIERS green-grocers', newsvenders, and other
shops frequented by the humber classes Of society
on the first day of the week, and the revenge
which the classes SO assaulted took was this--they
proceeded III body to the park, where the aristo-
cracy was enjoying in carriages and on horse
back the luxury of equestrian exercise, and the
honest plebeans pointed contemptuously at them
the finger OF scorn and the tongue Of excavation
for thus violating the Sabbath The argumentun
nd hoJnntm was never more completely pushed
home, and the triumph Of poverty over position
was this day at least complete.
The House Of Commons fell itself detected like
suspicious character, in an awkward position,
and il took alarm. This kind of feeling amongst
the laboring classes BODIED, il was then tardy dis
covered, no good to the State, and pous Lord
Grosvenor, who had been petted and encouraged
in his Sabbataran crusade, was now requested,
nay, implored BY original supporters 10 withdraw
his obnoxious measure. But Lord Grosvenor is
stubborn; in word, he is sincere, and is willing
to encounter being h6oted by the multitude every
time he takes an airing in the park; but those who
gave him their countenance in this movement are
not, and they now appear resolved to wash their
hands Of so dangerous an interference with the
personal freedom Of the laboring classes All this
is truly pitiu, and those who have been driven 10
this mode Of retaliation have not made use of il
for the last time Results, which the soundest
reasoning and the most eloquent appeals could
not reach, have been attained by this expression
Of popular anger--a lesson on which lawmakers
and law breakers may respectively ponder. In
short, the exposure Of cant was complete.

~ The Southern Wings and Know-nothings
are accustomed to declare that the Northern
Democratic party is unsound are their own
Northern allies. Compelled 10 acknowledge the
guilt Of the last, they endcavor as an Offset to
implicate the first. 1t is but a modern applica-
ton Of the ancient fable which relates how the
fox that had lost his tail persuaded all the foxes
TO cut off their tails.
This charge Of unsou ndness, preferred by
Know-nothings and Wings against the Northern
Dem ocracy, is made in the very face of teeth
That there are some unsound Northern Demo-
Gratis, we do not deny. On the other hand, if there
is bakers dozen Of State Rights Northern
Wings or Know-nothings, in the true accepta-
ton of the word, we should be happy to have
them pointed out
lfthe Southern Know-nothngs opposed North
ern Abolitionism with much energy, boldncss,
and honesty as are displayed every day by North
ern Democrats, and that, too, right to the truth,
and in the presence of the enemy, Abolition
fanaticism would soon cease to. be the formidable
monster that it is We do not mean to charge
that Southern men of any party feel a sympathy
with the reckless enemies OF the South, the Con-
stitution and the country. We are far from
believing so. We only mean that influenced by
the wretched delusion that they can consolidate
great National party, and thus conquer and
crush the hated Democracy, they fail to employ
those decisive measures against them that they
ought to employ.

THE CROWDED STREET.
BY GUS. BAYLEY.

Let me move slowly through the street
Filled with an ever shifting train,
Amid the sound Of steps that beat
The murmurng walks like autumn rain.
How fast the fitting figures come
The mild, the fierce, The stony face;
Some bright with thong htess smiles, and som
Where secret tears have left their trace
They pass--to toll, 10 strife, to rest;
To hall in which the feast is spread;
To chambers where the funeral guest
In silence sits beside the dead.
And some TO happy homes repair,
Where children, pressing cheek TO cheek
Where mute caresses shall declare
The tenderness they cannot speak.
And some who walk in calmncss here
Shall shudder as they reach the door
Where one who made their dwelling dear,
Its flower, its light, is seen no more.
Youth, with pale cheek and slender frame,
And dreams Of greatness in thine eye,
Goest thou TO build an early name,
Or early in the task 10 die?
Keen son of trade, with eager brow
Who IS now futtering in thy snare2
Thy golden fortunes, tower they now,
Or melt the ghttering spires in air?
Who of this crowd to night shall tread
The dance till Wight CLEAN again?
Who sorrow DER the untimely dead
Who writhe in throes of mortal paini
Some, famine struck, shall think how long
The cold dark hours,-how slow the light
And some, who haunt amid the throng,
Shall hide in dens of shame TO night.
Each, where his taste or pleasure calls,
They pass, and heed each other not;
There is who heeds, who holds them all
In His large love and boundess thought
These struggling tides of life that seem
In wayward, aimless course to tend
Are eddIes of the mighty stream
That rolls 10 its predestined end.

specially offei his services as a teacher of his
native tongue 10 Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils Of this city and vicinity The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition Of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomatcal part of the language or prac.
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, II not entirely nj least far too much, arc
neglected. In following these theoretical gram.
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time 10 the mere me.
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of a number OF set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method may, with
little effort, after course Of forty etght lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the rs
sisiance Of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution Of the studies of that language.
