The ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL AND HE FOURIER
TIE ORGAN.-The Fouricrite philosophers of the
New York Tribune seize the occasion of the
late bloody ARRAY at the ST. Nicholas Hotel for
q violent assault upon that establishment; and
they express their wonder-their Especial won
dcr--how gentlemen Of responsibility and ele-'
walton Of mind can permit their wives and
daughters to dwell in such places" &c. Now,
from the facts in the case, the ARRAY ofSaturday
night last was one of those personal collisions
for which the proprietors of the house are no
more responsible than if it had taken place in
San Francisco. Nor has the affair anything to
dowith the general or particular discipline of
the house; for it is hardly necessary to say
that the ST. Nicholas is one of the best, most
orderly refined and elegant hotels in this city
or in the world. Its guests will appreciate at
its proper value The malignity of its assail-
ants, in their attempt to identify it with
drunken brawls, and ''the bolching brutality
OF the rioting rowdy in every passage"
maniac may get into a church and disturb The
peace Of the congregation, and desperate
man may assault another with deadly intent
even in court Of justice. The occurrence.
therefore, Of the one thing or the other. at
public hotel, where thousands Of citizens and
strangers are daily brought into contact with
each other, proves nothing against the order or
discipline Of the establishment On the con-
trary, we dare say, that in proportion TO the
number of its guests and visitors, there is not
Maine law hotel in the United States that can
boast Of the uniform good order, quietudc, and
refined courtesies of social intercourse which
characterize the inmates Of the st. Nicholas
Hotel
The attack upon it by our Tribune philoso
piers may be set down, perhaps, to an eyaspe-
rated state Of wrath, resulting from the late
overthrow Of the ianatical niger and liquor fu-
sionists in Maine, and FROM the desperate
straits 10 which that election has reduced the
same coalition of this commonwealth, touching
the abominable law which they have given US
and which the proprietors of every hotel, sa-
loon, boarding house and private residence in
this city treat rs nudity and nuisance. But our
liquor and Fourieritc reformers should not per-
NIT their rage to carry them beyond the limits
Of sober discretion in their attacks upon their
fellow-ctizens. their characters. their business
and their property. The Maine Liquor law can
never be forced down the Threats of this com
munity 10y such disgraceful tricks Of election

A YEARS WAR OPERATIONS IN THE CRIMEA.-
Over year has elapsed since the Crimean Tar
tars were astonishcd by the appearance on
their desolatc coast Of the French and English
black sea fleets escorting to Eupatoria convoy
of one hundred vessels with an army Of fifty
eight thousand men on board. 4 year will have
elapsed tomorrow since that army met the
enemy on the heights Of Alma, and gained a
brilliant victory. The following week or fort
night was expected 10 have witnessed the fall
of Sebastopol and so confident were the Allies
that this was the inevitable destiny of the city
that it was looked upon just as if it were alrea-
dy in their hands, and even the cautious En-
peror Of the French had no hesitation in i'm
mortalizing one of his brilliant reviews at
Boulogne by the announcement that SeJastopol
est prise. But how stands the case? This an
nouncement of Louis Napoleon has become rs
famous as the motto of the great Roman, CIR
Mdgo est delenda-( Carthage must be destroyed);
and the probability is, from what we have al
ready seen, that with respect to Sebastopol
the tense is to be always future
1t is impossible to form anything like an APP
proximate estimate Of the stupendous loss Of
human life which has attended the efforts Of
| the Allies to reduce this now historic fortress
built and defended by people denomnatcd
rude and barbarous If we were to say that
! half a million Of lives have been already sacri-
! feed by fire, and sword and pestilence, and
| shipwrcck, and the horrors Of Crimean win
ter, it would certainly be below the real figure
And if correct estimate Of the loss Of life al
ready sustained is impossible, how much more
50 is it to fix any limit to the destruction Of
life which reckless obstinacy on the part of
the besiegers, and much more rational obsti-
macy on the part Of the beseged, will involve .
a daring coup dc main on The part Of the Allies
might have overpowered its proportl6natcly
! small means Of resistance when its battlcments
| first came in sight. Now those means have been
magnifed perhaps tcnfold: and even the fiery
! valor Of the Frenchman and the intrcpidity Of
! the Briton pale and quail before the terrific
| dangers Of an assault.
The fact seems to be conceded on all sides
that the lapse OF q year since the siege was I'M
| dertaken has not appreciably improved the
| prospects of the besegers, even although their
numerical force is increased fourfold.
! Sebastopol, in all probability stands,
on the 10th Of September, 1855, the
same virgin fortress as she stood on the same
date in 1854 There is no doubt Of its being
better fortified and garrisoned now than it was
then, and it would seem that its important
works of defence arc as scathless Us if they
had never undergone the terrific lombard
ments to which they have been subjected. The
events which time may have in store in con-
nection with it, it is not for man to predict.
but if we may Judge the future by the past we
may take it for granted that still another years
siege of Sebastopol will not materially alter
the idea OF its impregnablity.

may fall into the hands Of an enemy because
OF the explosion Of a magazine, but, notwith-
standing this accident q vigorous garrison, in
stead of captivating, would have driven the
French of, and not yielded up to them u work
which, for all purposes Of defence, was still
quite uninjured. 1t is certainly strange idea,
prevalent as it may be, that " stone walls are
no matches for wooden ones' In the one case
there is q massive wall varying from six to ten
feet in thickness and in the other the mere side
of q vessel The guns behind the first are in
every case placed on q solid basis, and can be
fired with great accuracy, whereas on ship
board they are subject to every motion of the
water, and must frequently strike wide Of their
mark Forts can mount heavier guns than
ships. Whence, then, arises the great superb
GRITTY of the latter? Is it imagination, or is it
fact, that by transferring the same gun from
its earthen bed to one that is aaoat it's charac-
ter is changed? Ifso, it must be brought about
by magic, not by art, and military engineers
will be under the deepest obligation to him
who will bring forward an authentic account
of q modern fertilization, we'll defended, being
demolished by the batteries of ship.
Stone walls cannot resist cannon; but this is
true only where the cannon are brought very
near to them, and breaches, save in thin walls,
are only made from just beyond the crest of
the outer works.
Whatever changes the future may have in
store for us, of one thing we may be certain:
that the gun boat has not yet been made, nor
the floating batteries invented, that is to crush
any of the works erected for the protection of
the principal cities Of our seaboard. Thelr in
habitants, therefore, need not feel any uneasi-
ness at the new theories advanced with so
much boldness by an Edinburg reviewer, nor
by what the English and French fleets can do

QuARASrISING BALTIMORE VEssEIs.-We pub
lshed yesterday correspondence which has
just taken place between Mayor Hncks of Bal
timore and Mayor Wood of New York, on
the subject of having vessels arriving from
Baltimore at this port, subjected to quarantine.
Mayor Hincks is justly indignant at this ac-
ton OF our Board of Health, at once palpably
absurd and unjust and threatens retaliation
on vessels arriving there from New York, UNI
less the order be revoked. Mayor Wood vir-
tually acknowledges the justice of the COM
plant, but shows that the ordinance only APP
plies in ELSEWHERE yellow fever is actually
found on board But even with that qualifca-
ton, he states that the precaution SO timidly
and foOlishly adopted as between Baltimore
and New York, did not meet with his concur
renee.
II the order be persevered in, twill without
acting by any means as a sentinel to keep out
yellow fever, have very injurious effect on
the commerce between these two cities. If
case of common bilious fever, sure to be pretty
prevalent at this season, be found on board
vessel arriving from Baltimore there is every
chance OF its being magnifed into one of yell
low fever; and the vessel would in consequence
be subjected to the usual delay for publication
at Quarantine. This detention Of vessels at
Staten Island for several weeks would be Sc
rious loss to the owners and shippers; and if
that loss be duplicated by the adoption of re-
talatory measures on vessels arriving at Bal
timore from this port, there is no estimating
fbo nj IF ;pi,, vr1 bn Inv
inflicted on our commerce. And all for
what? To appease silly and groundless appre-
tensions. There is no pretence that Baltimore
is now affected by the epidemic. There is no
prctcnce that it does not enjoy even better
condition Of public health than New York
does. And even if this were not Soft Balti-
more were being desolated by yellow fevcr--of
how little effect would these quarantine restric-
tons be while overland communication is unim-
peded, aud while half dozen railroad trains,
conveying nincteen-twentieths Of the amount
Of traffic, daily connect one city with the other?
Mayor Wood, like a sensible man, recognized
the force Of these truths, and therefore refused
his assent and concurrence in the action Of the
Board Of Health. The very fact of that nom
concurrence in the silly measure on the part Of
our chief magistrate, does much to relieve the
city from the odium which this order is calcu-
lated to infict upon it. But more must still be
done. The order must be revoked.
Wed do not here enter on the argument Of
the legality or illegality Of this order, further
than to say that the we understand that the
Board Of Health requested the opinion of the
Counsel to the Corporation, and that that OPT
Mon was adverse to the power of the Board to
establish such rule in reference to Baltimore
An unaffected city. They would have just
as much right to extend its application to Bos-
ton at the present moment. Under all these
circumstances, We hope that the Board Of
Health will see the propriety Of at once res
ending the order complained Of
