DESPERATE ARRAY With CHINANEN IN Low
poS.-Three Cinnamon have been arrested in
London. charged with attempting to murder
Teh Kwei, or Tuck Gay, a Chinese juggler, and
his wife, and the former Of whom is so badly
injured that he is not expected TO recover
luck Gay Is reported to have realized hand
some fortune by his performances, and when
he was taken TO the London Hospital he wore
belt round his waist containing upwards Of
600 in gold
light Cinnamon, including the three prison
ers, had gone TO his house late one night. and
demanded money, but finding they could get
none, they attacked him and cut him with
their kpifes, and Afterwards attacked his wife
IN similar manner. They then ran away, but
not before one Of them was severely wounded
When before the police court, each of the three
prisoners made sta.ements but thew did not
agree as to the reason which had induced them
to visit Teh kwei's lodgings One said he
went to smoke opium and drink another said
be went TO look on and the third that Keh
hTei had promised him money and when he
went for 1t, Teh kwie struck him and stabbed
him ON the thigh.
One version of the origin Of this murderous
ARRAY Is, that the prisoners and their five com
Fanions were charged by Teh Keh Kwci with
the abduction of girl, about Is or Ia wears OF
age, whom he had brought from China. and
who acted rs a servant to him and his wife. and
"slavey" "a the girl was termed, he was
about TO proceed to Canton in the ship Salacia.

Sacrifice Of Human Life-Horrors Of War

Il correspondent Of the London Times, wri-
ting from Constantinople, on the 25th of June,
makes the following estimate of the loss of life
in the wars Of the French Republic. compar
ing the number with those that have persisted
IN the present Crimean war The writer saws:
The progress OF science and civilization does
not seem to have rendered war less bloody tn
of yore or even to have diminished the CON
ungent losses by exposure and disease. When
1t Is stated that in the wars of the French Re-
public and Empire G, 900, 900 of men were lost
10 Europe, the first feeling is one of incredul
~; but If We may judge by the events of the
past 10 months, the present struggle is destined
to exceed all that have gone before in the
widespread destruction which it will cause
From an authority which there is every reason
TO trust, L learn that the Turkish Empire has
lost l30, 600 men since the declaration of war
In the autumn of 1853. The French have since
their arrival in the East lost 20 900 dead or in
valided; while the British have suffered to the
extent of $4,000
Although Austria has not been at war, vet
her occupation of the Provinces and the forma-
ton OF immense camps, which are always more
or less unhealthy, have cost her no slight dim
mutton of force. But putting aside the neutral
Powers, the Allies-French, British and Turk
appear TO have lost about $50 000 but there
Is reason to believe that this calculation is be-
low the truth. Taking into account the NOR
taIlty on board the ships of war and transports.
and among the laborers of different kinds at
tached to the armies, of whom there are some
thousands in the Crimea. it may be assumed
tina, from 100000 to zoe, 900 men have persisted
or become invaiided since the commencement
OF the war. And yet it cannot be said that
there have been many bloody battles, or in
deed any fighting on the scale of the gigantic
contests which marked the wars of the Ffnch
Empire. When operations are conducted on a
larger held, we must expect still greater &sses.
and be prepared for supplying re-inforcements
IN grester numbers, and with greater regular
ity than has as yet been thought necessary.

A maid refined beside a stream.

"A maid refined beside a stream,
AT fall Of summer day, $50
And half awake and half dream
She watched the ripPles play;
She marked the waters fall and hesve,
The deepening shadows throng,
And heard, as darkened down the eve,
The rivers babbling song.
And thus 1, sang with tickling tongue,
The ripping shadowy river:
"Youth s brightest day win fadeaway
Forever and forever
The twilight past, the moon at last
Rose boldly DER the night,
Each ripple CLEANS beneath her beams
As wrought in silver bright
The heaying waters glide along,
But mingling with their voice,
The nightingale now pours his song
And makes the shades rejoice,
And thus he sang with tuneful voice,
That bird beside the river
"Wh hen youth is gone true love shines on
Forever and foTever,''
