SIR ARCHIBALD ALISON ON THE RUSSIAN
WAR.

In bis address at the opening Of the Mechanics
Institution at Seaham harbor on the Sd OF January
Sir Archibald Ahson, the distinguished historian,
made the following reference 10 tue Russian war;
Such was the interest OF the war that IL vas OF

ture OF the enemy with whom tney had u contend.

philosophy were 10 little esseem all the talent OF
the empire was devoted 10 war. Every young man
of ability was sent 70 the military schools; In these
schools 20 600 young men were educated 20 the
science OF war, toe ableet OF whom were selected FOR
the duties Of diplomacy. At the head Of the empire
they found q mAn OF vast energy, mistaken courage
ana great determination. He devoted the eocrgi,s
Of the great empire to the biscts OF external az.
gression, and was actually supported by the whole
Russian nation; every man, from the Emperor down
the serf, was impressed with the idea that Rusis
was 10 be the conqueror Of the world The Emperor
was now making var on the idea that he Was
merely giving vent TO the national feeling. To him
might be applied, with the ate ration OF fsw words
the lines Of one Of the greatest poets Of the Last
century
No charms 70 him pacific sceptros yield,
War sounds the trump, he hurriss TO the held.
Cease nothing he cries, whom aught remains

The arrival Of TIE steamship George Law on

from California, and advices from Oregon, Kam-
schstks, the Sandwich Islands, the Society Isl
ands, Australia, the South Pacific Coast, and the
Isthmus Of Panama. This steamer brings 81
285. GIG in gold. The California news is Of un-
usual interest. Destructive fires have occurred
in San Francisco and Stockton. The financial
affairs connected with the late failures are not
yet adjusted. The death of Capt. Folsom, one
of the pioneers OF the State, and a man of i'm
mense wealth, has recently taken place. The
accounts from the interior are encouraging.
New veins Of gold have been discovered Rsn

the Russians. The full particulars will be found
