Now AND THEN.-On the eighteenth of June,

Now AND THEN.-On the eighteenth Of June,
eighteen hundred aud fity-6ve, the combined
French and English forces assaulted the Redau
and Malskof towers before Sebastopol, and
were defeated by the barbarous Russians with
great slaughter. Forty years before, on the
eighteenth Of June, eighteen hundred and
fifteen, the English and Butcher gained great
victory at Waterloo over the French and
Napoleon the Great. Formerly the English
celebrated the anniversary Of the great diy at
Waterloo with great fclat; but they have
changed all that now and this year we have
witnessed the delightful spectacle OF the victors
and the vanquished embracing each other, and
mutually endeavoring to forget all about
Waterloo, Wellington, Butcher, Grouehy, the
great Napoleon, and several other matters
equally gratifying to the British lion and dis
tressing to the Gallo cock. But affection is,
after all, bore, says Pelissier. One mus
have some excitement on Waterloo day; and
go he assaulted the southeastern defences
Sebastopol, and the anniversary Of Waterloo
day was celebrated by the most disastrou'
and bloody defeat that the Allies have yet
suftained. 1t is singular aud interesting
historical coincidence.

No Fusion IN THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PAR.
TY.-It is now almost certain that the hards
and softs will not row in the same boat. The
haIds positively refuse to coalesce with Marcy
and his national Prohibitory law; consequently
the softs have given it up in despair, and pro-
claimed war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt at the Baltimore Convention.
The call for the Soft Shell State Convention,
lat the usual place." on the twenty ninth Of
August, signed by two or three Cass men and
twelve or fourteen gentlemen Of the free soil
Buffalo stripe, has been duly promulgated.
This convention is to consist of one delegate
from each Assembly district it is to nominate
State ticket, "and also to determine the
time and manner of choosing delegates to the
next Democratic National Convention The
hards win hold their convention at the same
place on the fifth Of September. So the thing
is settled. There will be two State tickets in
the field-two sets Of delegates to the Baltimore
Convention, and defeat for the adminis.ra-
ton and the soft shells. The hards will be
wiped out, also, if they do not coa.esce with
the Know Nothings. The American platform
is essentially the hard shell platform in effect,
and it has been partially endorsed by Judge
Beardsley and other national democrats. Will
the hards fuse with the Know Nothings on the
national platform? Speak out, and quickly

AMERICAN INVENTIONS BLOWING UP THE
ALLIEs.-A letter from the English feet off
Cronstadt informs us Mat there was recently q
small submarine explosion in those parts,
which agitated the nerves of one French Ad.
miral and ten Post Captains. This was
probably caused by one Of N. Jacobs mi
chimes, a number Of which were sent out to
the Baltic a long time ago, and the fear of
which caused old Charley Napier to make that
ever memorable signal for more chloroform.
We presume that Jacobs machines are plenti-
full about Cronstadt; but they must be little
more powerful to do any great harm. The
principle upon which they are constructed IL
very cid one, and was first applied to modern
warfsrs during our Revelation.

ANOTHER Posi- OFFICE HUMBuG.-A great
many complaints having been made to the Post
Office Department relative to the loss of valua.
BILE letters, the government conceived bril-
liant idea on the subject, which brilliant idea
has lately been carried iRto effect. It consists
in system of registering valuable letters.
Persons may, by application to the Postmaster,
and pay ing fee, have their letters registered,
and obtain receipt for the same. The regis
tered letters are kept apart from the common
herd, and when they arrive at their destination
the Postmaster sends circular, of which the
following is copy to the persons to whom they
are addressed
Registered LETTER No. 2l7
POST OFFICE, New York, July s, 1855.
sR-pleass call at this Office and sign receipt for re.
Bring this notice with you.
Yours, respectfully,
4. + hIBBARD,
for l. v. FOwLER, p. N.
Now the cream of the joke is, that the GO
vernment is not responsible if these registered
letters are lost so that registration is only alum
bug, after all The fact that the registered letters
are kept apart from the others is no great pro-
lection for them it is only an advertisement to
knavish officers, to inform them what letters are
worth stealing. There is no reason to suppose
that the persons having charge of the regis
tered letters will be any more honest than the
ordinary Post Office clerkA Indeed, expert
ence--which, as German writer says, keeps a
good school but charges very high price =
teaches us that those who occupy the highest
places are most unlikely to resist temptation.
We are afraid that people will continue to send
their money letters by private expresses, not
wi,hetanding the new registration Law, which
is about as valuable as bank check with the
depositor's signature omitted.
