RAIsIsc OF THE FREScH FLAG on TIE MALA.
KoFY.- letter from French officer at Sebas-
topol, IN the ConstIutionel. says:-It was cor.
poral of the LIST Zouaves who planted the first
French standard on the Malakoff His name is
Eugene Libaut, of Paris. 1t was General NJ.
Mahons standard Of the st division, the hoist
ing of which was to be the signal for the attacks
on the other points. The general gave him the
standard with his own hands, with the words
" This is the signal flag: go." Libaut was the
FIRST to spring out Of our trenches. While get
ting into the enemy's ditch he was struck by q
stone, but. notwithstanding the pain. he scaled
the parapet IN the midst of hail storm of pro-
jeciiles OF every kind, and at length planted the
dag, around which our brave soldiers soon
focked, and maintained their ground.

NIcARAGuA.-As the eyes OF many Of our peo-
pie are now directed TO the beautiful, though
sickly cline of Nicaragua, the following remarks
from the Alta California may be read with pro-
fit:
Now that the country is in the hands of Walk
err as it really is, strong efforts will doubtless
be made TO induce immigration, aud thousands
will wi,hot doubt, flock to Nicaragua, tempted
by the novelty and apparent openings for enter
prise, capital and labor. Those who are in this
condition, should pause moment and think.
They should remember that there is worse
enemy 10 fight in Nicaragua than either Demo
crat or Legitimisf, more deadly foe than even
the treacherous native. We mean the climate
which, particularly along either coast, and in
many portions of the interior, breeds the low
tropical fever, SO fatal to the European races.
Many years ago colony of germans was esiab-
ished near to Grenada, but in a very few months,
these hardy men were dying like sheep, uuder
the whitening effects of the climate. and those
who lived were forced to abandon their enter
prise, glad to save what of life was left them.
We have no desire to discourage enterprise, but
to those who under the excitement of the mo-
ment with victorious banner waving them to
come beneath its folds, think of going to Mica
ragua, we would say reflect a moment before
you leave California with its healthful climate
and its golden soil, for the pestiferous tropical
air of Nicaragua.

A RARE CURIOSITY We were shown last
evening. British coin bearing date 1851 and.
with the name of Edward VI. on the margin.
1t is British crown, and is equal in our federal
currency to one dollar and ten cents. The coin
is three hundred and four years old, and is in u
most remarkable state of preservation The
stamp OF time is upon it. but every letter and
inscription is plainly egible il is of silver,
and something larger than our dollar. On one
side is the figure of knight heavily clad in ar
NOR and seated upon horse clothed in all the
trappings of chivalry. On the other side is the
royal crown. Most Of the Inscriptions on the
margin are abreviatons, and could only be de-
ciphered by an antiquarian. This coin was
stamped only fity-nine years after the discovery
of America by Columbus, and sixty-nine year.

We hear from pretty good authority ,haf tie,
Honorable Miss Murray, the distinguished Eur-
ish lady who has been travelling in Tie Uni:.d
States for some months past, is preparing IA book
OF observation and criticism upen oar people,
and institutions, and that she intends TO viii,I-
cate the institution of slavery from the alleged
misrepresentation of Uncle Toms Cabin. Tn
less we have been entirely misinformed Niss
Murray has come to the conclusion, as the. "a.
suit of her personal observation, that the social
institutions of the Southern States are decidedly
in advance of those Of any other portion of the
country; that higher degree Of culture aud re-
hnement is TO be found there than elsewhere /.
the Union; that slavery is blessing rather than
curse to the negroes themselves; and that the
pictures OF its cruelties and atrocities given by
Mrs. Stowe, in her celebrated novel, are either
very gross exaggerations, or so exceptional as
not to be taken into the account when form
ing judgment OF the institution itself. She will
make this prominent featured in her forthcoming
book and designs, we understand, To enter into
special refutation of the views and represeu.
