A DIscovERY (PERHAps. ITO have to
kill an OK in order to make q pair of boots
is clumsy thing;sand we have waited
some time to hear of some invention
which will supercede leather for the feet,
as wool, cotton, linen and silkha super.
ceded the skins of animals for the rest Of
the human dress. We see the London
papers speak Of an invention, which has
Just been submitted to the test by scien-
tiic authorities. A leather cement, SO
strong and adhesive that boots and shoes
are made with it, in which not single
stitch is seen or required, and the pro-
cess Of mending SO simple, that every
man may be, if not his own boot-maker
at all events his own boot-mender.

New York, June %.

New York, June %.
The Baltic arrived this morning at
l o'clock, with dates to the morning of
the 10th. She brings telegraphic details
Of the capture by the French of Mamelon
and white Works, after sanguinary fight
ing; 5000 were killed and wounded. The
French took SO guns and 500 prisoners,
and their new position enables them to
shell the shipping in Sebastopol harbor.
- simultaneously the English stormed and
took the rifemen's works in the quarries,
but lost 500 killed and wounded.
Since then the firing has been slack.
The fleets have achieved new successes in
the Sea of Azoff, and have burned the
stores at Taganrog, Mariopal and Genitsck,
and an expedition was about to be fitted
out against Perekop.
The Russians are reported to have
evacuated Awapa. Nothing from Tcher-
ridza or Baltic fleets.
VIENNA, June, Friday noon.-General
Lamorra, the younger, died of Cholera
at Balaklava. =
By shameful occurrence in the Baltic,
in which the Russians fred upon boat
bearing a flag of truce, twenty-one sailors
and three officers were killed.
Private letters from Kertch give fearful
accounts of suffering in the Russian army,
as we'll from wounds as sickness. The
Russians are said to have obtained COM
munication with the Cimea, independent
of the road from Perekop, by construct
ing bridge of boats across Soyezhe.
The British ship Shamrock foundered
and lost. Cargo copper; value 5000, 600.
DANrzIa, June Is. The Vulture has
arrived with dispatches. She left the
heet on the 18th, and anchored off Cron-
stadt. On the 9Th, the Russians fred on
. boat, bearing flag of truce, and 16
English sailors were killed.
CaAcow, 14th.-Emperor of Austria
arrived yesterday. The Crimea cores
pondence is down to the fourth; weather
excessively hot, and all accounts agree
that there is,a vast amount of disease and
dependency in the garrison at Sevas-
topol.
English funds to-day show less bouy-
ancy; discount houses gave notice of re-
duction rates on call loans.
Advices from the United States are
looked for, to stimulate prevailing tenden-
cy toward confidence in manufactures.

WASHINGTON, Jan l4, 1854
Lieut. g. II. Derby, 4. S. Army, San Dirgo, CaI.-
STR:--An effort having been made by me,
in connection with others, to obtain an act
of Congress during its present session, by
which army officers will receive the same
allowances whilst they served in California
aud Oregon, as were granted TO navy Off
GERS, ] beg 10 call your attention thereto,
qnd especially ask your approval Of the
contemplated attempt.
You are aware that Congress, at It's last
session, granted in the Naval Appropriation
bill, extra pay ($2 per diem, to the OIL
GERS, aud double pay to the sailors and 9TH
ers serving in the Pacific during the Mex
lean war, aud up TO the 2Sth September,
1850. This allowance was based upon the
surpoSition that the officers Of the army
serving in California, had received the same
allowance by previous acts Of Congress,
when in fact this extra pay had only been
granted them FROM lst July, 1850. There
are large number Of army officers justly
entitled TO M additional allowance, and for
precisely the same reasons which has in
duced Congress TO grant it to the navy, and
especially those who served there subse-
qnent to lst Janary, lsiS; when they were
compelled TO pay the most exorbitant
prices for the neceSsaries Of life, having no
other alternative, aud no means Of wing
the country like the officers of the Pacific
squadron, who could have left the coast Of
California and gone to a cheaper station
] lave been requested by a number Of
officers stationed in Texas, 10 solicit your
cooperation in carrying out this desirable
object, by contributing, in the event Of sue
cess, the proportionable per centum, agreed
upon by them, namely: five or ten per cent,
on the amount that may accrue 10 you, as
u remuneration for services rendered.
Your concurrence is therefore requested,
aud il is understood that il there should be
u failure, which however, is not anticipated,
no charge Of any kind, shah be made.

PATTERSON PREcIScT, Sept. Is, 1855.
Pursuant to q call Of the citizens of
Clark Comfy, meeting Of the citizens con-
vened at the house Of Ira Patterson, when
William Dillon was elected chairman, and
Ira Patterson, secretary.
Several gentlemen addressed the meeting,
who were present at Vancouver on election
day, and were cognizant Of the outrages
upon several citizens OF the pOlls, The
following series Of resolutions were read
and adopted.
When in the course Of human events the
citizens Of any portion of the country are
placed in circumstances which arc intoler-
able, Re hold that il is their iualieDable
right to present such circumstances to the
public for the consideration Of their coun-
try. In that view Of the case We, pOr-
ton Of the citizens Of Clark County, Wash
ington Territory, do hereby present our
complaint, setting forth the following state
ment Of facts, to wit: ,...,.I.,l-... 4,
.1st.-That the first Legislature Of Wash
ington Territory, passed an election law,
granting to settlers the right of suffrage.
2d-That the second legislature amend
cd the election law by DISTINGUISHING the
soldiers; e saa ur. " II .o 1ih
3d-That William .Hendrickson and
C. s. Irby, two Of the members of Clarke
Conntyin the last legislature, supported
the amendment 10 the election law with
their votes and influence; '7'ah
4th.-rhat OF the last annual election,
held at Vanc6uver in Clarke County, July
0th,a 1885, the polls were opened at the
sehooLhouse, aud the election during the
forenoon passed of quietly In u few min
utes after the polls were opened, in the az
ternoon, a procession Of soldiers were seen
approaching the polls with ON effigy astride
q rail labelled on the head Urby,n ON the
breast " No SOLdieT 'rOte.7 They paradcd
it before the polls and introduced it to the
bystanders as Mr.. lrby, and then proceed
ed to hang it in trout Of the polls. After
1.-THE eifigy had hung few minutes, raj
was placed under it and, being loosed from
its hanging, they bore it of in the direction
of tho garrison. After an interval of hal
On hour or so, o procession Of soldiers wal
again seen approaching the polls, bearing
! an effigy on rail as before, labelled on thu
head, "Headrieksoa," and on the breast
/" NoSoldier cote" This was also paradet
before the polls and hung up by thssneck
. and after hanging few minutes, was Gu

amount Of property, as TO humbug me with

who, as said before, l solemnly believe is

From these two considerations, con
clude that you have no claim or shadow Of
a claim on me, but that your proposal is
merely a request for charity, TO the amount
of five or ten per cent" on the small sum
