"Agreat sensation has been raised in the

Z
The correspondent of the Daily Nsvs des.
cribesi In vivid language, an awful scene
during the .bohbafdment Of ssbsstopol, Of
the first hight, s
Some two hours later, however, about 8
O'Clock, new incident occurred to give pic
turesqueness and interest to the scene. A
large two-decker, lying moored of the dock
yard shears, suddenly burst into flames; and
in considerably less than half an hour her
whole hull and rigging were one mass OF
waving fire. None but most graphic pen
could describe the grandeur of the eoAfagra-
ton, as it frightened and extended in relief
against the pitchy darkness of the night,
throwing up clouds of smoke, which hung
in lurid masses over and around the burning
ship till the whole harbor, from Fort Paul
to the North shore, was covered with the
feecy volumes which there was not q breath
of wind to stir. The red glare Of the flames
threw. its reflection over all the adjacent
buildings aud shipping, creating picture of
lights and shadows such as only the pencil
OF REMBRANDT himself could have worthily
reproduced; while above the vapory canopy
that overhung the vessel, the sky was light
ed up with a brilliance which rendered the
outline of the various siege works before
the town almost as visible as . aroonday.s-
The only sky-scene | ever saw which sur
passed, or even equalled it, was an Autumn
sunset in Mesopotamie, when the long even
line of the desert horizon was crowned with
q glory of which no combination of artifi.
cial colors could ever afford au adequate re-
semblance. About two hours after the
first outbreak of the fire there were two tri-
fling explosions, as is caused by the igni.
ton of spirits or the firing of couple of
powder casks; but beyond these, and the
discharge Of a single cannon, there wes no
report. Shortly before midnight the decks
fell in, after which the side timbers contin.
ued to burn fer some couple of hours, when
the wreck settled down, and at daylight no
trace of her remained visible above the
water.

"For several years past the Eastern

the West for their -four, but this year they
undertook TO raise their own, and with graf
Tying success. An old farmer who has re.
Gently travelled extensively in Sullivan and
Grafton counties, assures US that he never
saw such crops Of wheat in New Hampshire.
We hear similar reports from other quar-
ters, and have seen some Beautiful wheat
fields ourelVes. II may be thought, per-
haps, that all the wheat New Hampshire
can raise, will not effect the market price
Of -four; but when 1t is considered that for
FIVE years past 1t has produced next to none,
while this year twill supply one half its
population. the effect must be felt; and il
the other New England States have done

es must be quite perceptible. Flour must
come down, as soon as the new crop is fully

Present TO the Portage County Ag-


The Portage County Agricultural Society
has received present from the hands Oi
VIZ. BoYD, ESQ.,, Of Mansfield, Mass, Of g
large and splendid Silver Case, containing
the Hkeuesses of General McIETosH and
his wife.
The following e IN extract from the let
ter Of Mr.. BeTD, to e. B. TAYLOR, Esq, In
reference to the present thus generously be-
slowed: ,-...,y.-.
MAHsYIKLD, Mass, Sept. 8, 1855.
E. B. TAYLOR, ESQ.,;
DEAR SIR;--I am having case made,
which wish to give as a present to the
Portage County Agricultural Society, as a
repository for good likeness Of Gen. MIN
tosh and wife, who have done so much to
raise the Society from feebleness to its pre-
sent state Of respectability and usefulness.
It will be made with much care, and in.
tend it shall be Werthy of the Society and
the object for which present it. hope it
will be well preserved, thatit may be exhib-
tied at future meetings Of the Society, when
the originals may not be present to exchange
smiles Of welcome and good will to people
from all parts Of the county, as we have both
seen them do in times that are past.
The token Of respect and esteem shown
to the General by the Society in presenting
him with the Gold Medal he so richly meri-
ted, is evidence to me that it will appreciate
q good personal appearance Of one OF the
best friends it ever had. And surely Mrs.
Mcintosh deserves good seat besides the
General. Indeed / can almost fancy her
now "the best man of the two." When l.
think Of the gorgeous Floral embellish-
ments she had so often prepared with such
exquisite taste to adorn the utilitarian parts
prepared by others, l have to admit her
strong conceptions Of the beautiful. Or to
ascribe II to the esprit rappings" of good
old mother Eve, who was the only aoomGn 1
knotc of who was acquainted with the sur
passing beauty Of flowers before the apple
was eaten. However this may be, | think
the General and she ought to stand or sit to-
gether.
And hope the Society will think the
case am about sending, suitable place to
deposit and preserve such likeness in.
The case is valued at $IO0, and the like
nesses are as large as life. .
Mr.. BoYD is the inventor OF the new Da-
guerrean arrangement for preserving the
likenesses Of friends on tomb stones. It Is
an invention, which is attracting a large
share of attention from the scientific men of
the day, and bids fair to be highly valuable
inthe art ofpreserving the form and features
of friends after they are gone, by obtaining
q perfect and indelliole likeness.
