Scott, in his book on the Crime?, Rajs: The port of Sebastopol consists of a bay running in a south-easterly direc tion, about four mile# long and a mile wide at the entrance, diminishing to 400 vards at the end, where the Tchernaia Retchka," or Black River, empties itself. The average depth is about eight fathoms, the bottom being composed of mud in the centre and gravel at the side*. *Jn the southern coa^t of this bay are the commercial, military, and careening har l>ors, the quarantine harbor being outside the entrance?all these taking a south erly direction, and having deep water. The military harbor is the largest, be ing about a mile and a halt long by 400 yards wide, and is completely land locked on every side, llere it is that the Black Sea fleet is moored in the win ter, the largest ships being able to lio with all their stores on board close to the quays. The small harbor, which contains the naval arsenal and docks, u on the eastern side of the military har Ixr, near the entrance. The port is defended to the south by six principal bnttf-^i? s and fortresses, each mounting from .r>0 to 100 guns: and the north by Jour, having from 18 to 120 pieces each and besides these there are many smaller batteries The fortresses are built on the casemate principle, three of them having three tiers of guns, and a fourth two tiers. Fort St. Nicholas is the largest, and mounts about 100 guns: on carefully counting them we made 186. By great interest we obtained permission to visit this fortress. It is built of white lime ftone; a line sound stone, which be comes hard and is very durable, the same material being used (or all the other for|?. Between every two casements are fut naces for heating shot red hot; we mea sured the calibre of the guns, and found it to be eijrht inches, capable of throwing shells or 68-pound solid shot. There were in the military harbor of Sebastopol 12 line of-battle ships, eight frigates, and seven corvettes, comprising the Black Sea fleet, independent cf steamers. The town of Sebastopol is situated on 1 he point of land between the commer cial and military harbors, which rises gradually from the water's edge to an elevation of two hundred feet. It is more than a mile in length, and its great est width is about three quarters of a mile, the streets entering the open steppe at the south. It was partly defended on the west towards the land by a loop holed wall, which had been pronounced by one of the first engineers of Russia as perfectly useless, and plans for complete ly fortifying the place in that direction were said to have been made; but whether the work has since been carried out we know not, though we have a deep conviction that strong defences will be found to exist there by the time a be sieging army arrives. These, however, being hurriedly raised, can neither be of sufficient magnitude nor strength to of Icr a serious resistance to a loug-contin lied fire of heavy artillery, and, unless these fortifications are on a most exten sive scale, and embrace a very wide cir :uit, they may be commanded from so aiany points that, attacked with heavy ^unsoflong range, their speedy reduc tion becomes a matter ot certainty. None of the sea batteries or forts are )f service for defence on the land side. Indeed, the great fort St. Nichola, has not a guu p>ointed in that dire'Ction, and such an armament would be perfectly useless if it existed, as that part of the hill on which the town stands rises be hind it to a height of two hundred feet. In tact, all the fortresses and batteries, t>oth to the north and the south of the *reat bay, are commanded by higher ground in the rear. The streets of Sebastopol are built in parallel lines from north to south, and in tersected by others from east and west: Mid the houses, being of limestone, have i substantial appearance. The public buildings are fine. The library erectcd by the Emperor for the use of naval and military officers is of Grecian architec ture, and is elegantly fitted up internally. The books are principally confined to naval and military subjects, and the sciences connected with them, history, nud some light reading. The club house is handsome externally, and comfortable within it contains a large ball-room, which is its most strik ing feature, and billiard rooms, which appeared U) be the great centre of at traction but one looked in vain for read ing rooms, filled with newspapers and journals, suoh as are found in the clubs of England. There art many good churches and a fine landing place of stone from the mili tary harbor, approached on the side of the town, beneath an architrave sup ported by high columns. It also boasts an I alian opera house, the first perform ance for the season at which took plaoe during our visit: but we cannot say much for the singing?the company be ing third rate, and the voice of the prima donna very much resembling, at times, a cracked trumpet. The house itself was badly fitted up. 'ihe eastern side of the town is so steep, that the mast heads of the ships cannot be seen until one gets close to them. Very beautiful views are ob tained from some parts of the place, and it is altogether agreeably situated. A military band plays every Thursday even ing in the public gardens, at whioh time tins fashionables assemble in great num bers* As Sebastopol i* held exclusively as a military and naval position, commerce does not exist?the only articles imported by sea being tlkose required for material of w ar, or as prov isjous for the inhabit ants and garrison.

N i M SG STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Thr ApProachirg Pint.?The approaching fair of the Metropolitan Mechanics' Institute, 13 most eagerly looked forward to by tbe mass of our fellow citiiena. Their last similar ex hibition waa very successful, being more so than any similar affair ever before got up in a city of the site of ours. On this oooasi in, we hare erery hope tbat in addition to the handicraft of oar own local manufacture!s in all branches of the useful and ornamental arts, there will be even a much larger and more diversified exposition of valuable works from a distanoe than on the oooaaion to which we refer above. It should be reoolleoted by those who make wares suitable to be shown in such a fair, that during the proposed exhibi tion our city will be crowded with persons from all quarters of the Union, of the partic ular class, tog, upon whom it will be worth meh indeed for producers of goods for con sumption every where to make good imprea sions. Our winter sojourners are almost en tfrely persons of standing and influence at heme?the men of active minds and impres sive thougttt in every State in the Union W# throw out this hint to be reflected on by artisans in other quarters. Thh Racks ?It wi.l be peroeived in another column, that we are to bave three days racing, on Thursday, Friday and 8atur day next, over the Columbia Course. The track is in excellent'order, and the roads to and from it, leading to Washington, Alexan Georgetown, were never in better condition for a drive or ride out It is said bv the knowing ones that the horses which are to run, are all superior nags. Mary Payne, the Alexandria mare that obtained a victory eafilv on Saturday last, it is thought by the fancy is about to meet her match on the day for which she is entered. There can be no doubt that the attendance will be very large thrjuzhout the season, and that "the fancy" will find ?ore pleasure in the their way on the Colum Ma Course during the balarce of this week, there??F wfore since the tra;k was opened Th> Balls To-rioht.?Tie young and joy. ouii among our iellow-citixens of Washington and Alexandria, cf both sexes, will have a peat treat to night at the balls of tbe Boone S,fl?',fCi)dd^el,0W8, Hal1' Navy *?'d; the Arlington Club at Carusi's Saloon; and of the Mount era on Guards at Alexandria These reunions are delightful beyond measure! and it is one of the best possible signs of real improvement in the population of tnis region to find them becoming so universally popular. The occasion is the one of all occasions for such entertainments. The parties charged with the management of all three of these balls, have exerted themselves to make happy all who may favor them with their presence. We predict a glorious time to-night to all who may attend either oa'l T*? Prbsrrtatior To-Night.?There is to be a tremendous .u?h to the Parrows' presen tation to-night, and well there may be. Messrr M. W. Gait A Brother have just made to the order of Mr. Parrow, of the opera troupe, as we remarked yesterday, a inagnifi cent silver trumpet, which is to be presented by Mr. Parrow to the hre company which has ?old the largest number of tickets for his en tertainaent at Iron Hall. Remember, the en tertainment comes off this evening. The trum Ct is very massive, and measures twenty one ihes in height and eight and a half inches across the base It is elaborately chased, rep resenting oak leaves, acorns, and wreaths of flowers. In point of beauty and workmanship it is unsurpassed, and the lucky company may be justly proud of so Ii beral a gift. Rav. Mr. Carothers' Church ?On Sun day morning and evenicg large congregations were present, when the pastor preached, and the anxious seats were filled. Tne work in creases in interest and success. About fifty parsons have become inquirers. One gratify i?g,f.e*t.nr? of thl8 work ia, that thus far the in dividuals interested are young men and young women, and heads of families. This week the Rev Mr. Sunderland preaohes every evening The numerous friends of Mr Carothers will he glad to learn that while his health is not now the most robust, be has been able to at tend to all his pastoral duties for the past monh, and has labored with an energy and seal during his protracted meetings, which have not only cheered bis own people, but Cen promise of a permanent restoration to dth and of increased usefulness in his min isterial work. Wood ard Coal Lralbrs Many gentle men engaged in this business complain with gi eat justice at newspaper paragraphs inti mating that they are, as a class, in this city, in the habit of giving short measure and weight They demand that if there are par ties in the trade in Washington who indulge in such a practice, it is but proper that they should be named. When such publications an made, general denunciations on this ac count are both unjust and in very bad taste Inasmuch as it is well known tbat we have not among us more correct business men. as a class, than our wood and coal dealers. Thr Kcrkrls.?This talented company is attracting crowds at the national Theatre, where they are now performing. It is net every company tbat oan perform as skilfullv as the ''Kunkel Troupe," even among the professional musicians. Good music and fun wr the audience will be produced nightly. Their programme for to-night presents mu sical gems of the highest order. Thr Giarts Lrvcrs.?The thousands who daily attend the Giant s levees, are highly de lighted, especially with Miss Crous? whose equal does not exist. It is worth double the price to see her alone. The Giant is large andwell formed but he should wear his toga k' nem was elected Speaker of the Sen ate, and John Hill, chief clerk. XST Tbe Courier Mercantile, of Genoa, states that the British troops at Sevastopol have some heavy guns of a peculiar contri vance there for trial, invented by Lieutenant Colonel Cavalli, of the Sardinian army. These guas were tried some months ago, at the camp of San Maurizia, and were ascertained to have a range of 5000 yards, with a deviation of little more than three feet. The projeotile is of a conical form. 1ST Filters, filled with sand arc fou idin Boston to colleot and contain animalcules, which, not having room to eiroulate among the sand, died there, and thus pollute! the water. Hence one cause, it ia thought, of the bad quantity of tbe Cochituate water, their Creton, now geLerally complained of. Mr At the late Methodist Conference in England, a decrease in the membership was reported to the extent of 0787. The war has occasioned a decrease in some quarters, as in the Kent and Portsmouth districts. Emigra tion is also one of the oauses of the faling off. Second-crop Peaches.?We had the plea sure, says the Loudon (Va Washingtonian, of eating a peach, presented us by Mr. John Iseet, of Leesburg, which was of the second growth for the present year. The tree bore early in the summer, and then blossomed and again produced the peach presented to us. It was small, but possessed all the flavor and taste of the genuine article. Important Expedition ?It is said that an expedition of Americans from New York, Texas, and other parts cf the Union is said to be on the point of starting to establish a re public in the territory purchased in the Mos quito country, embracing some twenty-five millions of acres Col Kinney, of Texas, is to lead the expedition, and to be President of the republio. Col K. is a man of mind enterprise and wealth, just the chftTMtar to head such an ex pedition. Dan?kr or Tkustuto tour W itb ?The ?litor of the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Advocate is a Democrat, his wife is a Whig. Confiding his pap?r to her management, he recently started on an electioneering tour. The lady faversed the engine, changed the politics of i oaper, and the editor harried home ju?t in time to prevent the removal of the name of his fartirite candidate from the columns of the Advocate. PT Emigrants from Bremen and Hamburg are arriving in considerable numbers at Gal veston. The barqne Neptune, with 159, and the brig Mina, with 150, arrived on the 3d from Bremen, and on tbe same day, the barque Miles, with 10ft, arrived from Hamburg. Total 575. Iy The Port Gibson Herald of a late date says that upon a single ronte tbat lies through Port Gibson and Rodney there passed within the previous twenty days between four and five thonsand persons. These emigrants are principally from, lower Tennessee and tbe upper part of Alabama. Qnim ?The leading and most influential Reman Catholics, at the recent elections in the town of Plymouth, Mass., says the N. Y. Cou rier. voted the Native Amerioan, Anti-Catho lio, Enow Nothing ticket.
