The bay was called! sebastopol by the Russians during the I "eign of Catherine II., whence the name! f the strong post now besieged by the I Allies. The great harbor of inkermann, j aid to resemble that of Malta, is one ofl ,he finest in the world, it has a depth! )f water varying from 21 to 70 feet, in which the largest vessels can ride at an-| ;hor, at a cable's length from the shore. I It is truly a city of caverns, for the white I ocks are full of excavations of a mo?: I extraordinary character. They consist! )f chambers, with Gothic windows, cut >ut of the solid stone. Near the harbor! he rooks are hewn inf the early ages. The Russians have! nade sad havoc with all these antiquities, I ind splendid remains. J Princely Munificence.?The Phila-I lelphia Argus says: We understand that Judge Helfen Jtein, a large coal proprietor, proposes,! )n the 22d inst., to dedicate forever a! valuable and productive coal estate, in I the Shamokin coal basin, for the benefit I >f the destitute poor of New York, Phil-1 idelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Carlisle, &c. On the same day, will be laid the sorner-stone of a free college, at Shamo-1 kin, to be endowed with the proceeds of another coal estate and also a coal es tate dedicated to the benefit of African colonization. The occasion will be one I af much interest. Governor Bigler, Bishop Potter, and a number of prominent ciu-| zens of the State, will be present. Judge j Helfenstein has, within the last three or four years, given over 20,000 tons of coal to the poor of Philadelphia, Lancaster,! Carlisle, and other places." A Frightful fact, brought out by the I late British census, is the terrible waste! of existence in childhood in the great I manufacturing cities. In Manchester out of every hundred thousand iniantsl born, less than fifty thousand are alive at the end of six years and but thirty-1 nine thousand at the erd of twenty. In I the large commercial townc the waste of I life is not so appalling, but still is com paratively enormous. For example, in Liverpool, out of every hundred thou-| sand persons born, about forty-five thou sand arrive at the age of twenty. The chances of life in Liverpool, as compared] with Manchester arc, therefore, as forty five to thirty nine. The great mortality! in the first six years of life, in the latter town, can only be explained by the close air, bad food, and the insufficient com forts of the operatives. Compared with the rural districts, both Liverpool and Manchester are pest houses, so to speak.

England and Wales, oil the avert ge, give sixty-one thC'iS*nd bodied men between twenty and forty years of age to every hundred thous^od infants born. Manchester, as we bare *een, gives but thirty-niae thousand. The mortality in the manufacturing towns is, consequently, two-thirds great er than in the kingdom at large, and btaut twice as large as in the healthier rural districts. This is a telling fact against the morbid growth of cities, the neglect of sanitary measures in towns, and the two common iudifferenee to the physical condition of the working man. Wells in thk Desert ?A joint reso lution has been passed by the California Legislature, instructing the representa tives of that State in Congress to exert themselves to obtain an appropriation for the sinking of wells in the Humboldt Desert, Utah Territory, for the relief of emigrants, cattle, and other trains jour neying overland by that route to and from California. Nothing bat alkaline water is met with upon the surface in that vicinity, and, as a consequence, it is very fatal to cattle and horses. Of three thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine head of cattle which started from the eastern side of the desert for California, by the Beckwith route, but one thousand and ten managed to reach California alive. Sir Walter Scott's Family.?A Lon don literary journal, in giving a sketch of Lockhart's life, makes the following .statement respecting the family of his father-in law 44 The extraordinary sweep made by death in Sir Walter Scott's family is a world-wide wonder and sorrow. Lady Scott went first; and the beloved child? Lockhart's intelligent boy, so well known under the name of llugh Littlejohn? died when the grandfather's mind was dim and clouded. Soon after Scott's death, his younger daughter and worn out nurse followed him; and in four years more, Mrs- Lockhart. The young Sir V'alter dud childless in India, and his brother Charles, unmarried, in Per sia. Lockhart was left with a son and a daughter. As years and griefs began to press heavily upon him, new sorrow arose in his narrow domestic circle. Ilia son was never any comfort to him, and died in early manhood. The only re maining descendant of Scott, Lockhart s daughter, vras married, and became so fervent and obedient a Catholic as to reu der all intimate intercourse between the forlorn father and his only child impos sible." Horace Greeley.?It is stated, in the Life of Horace Greeley, that Leggett (of all men) once discharged him from a compositor's situation on the New York Evening Post on account of his slovenly appearance. Cireeley s first employment in New York was obtained from W. T. Porter, of the Spirit of the Times, who was then foreman of West's printing of fice. In 1833, Greeley started the Morn ing Post, the first penny paper in the world it lived sixteen days, and begat the New York Sun. Horace was born perfectly black at Amherst, N. n. Mr. J. Parton. who has taken his life in such an effectual manner, has been for several years the working editor of the Home Jou rnal. Political Bittrrs'rss Parson Ea ton, of Har^sville, Maine, whose three cornered cocked hat, big white wig, and shae buckles, indelibly impressed our childish memory, was one of those stern old revolutionary Feds, who preached politics, as was Uie fashion of the day and he prayed politics, too for in one of his public performances, during the struggle between Adams and Jefferson, he said *t 44 0 Lord, thou hast commanded us to pray for our enemies?and let us begin with Thomas Jefferson/' Rev. Mr. Mills, a returned mis sionary from Ceylon, states that some of the leading natives of that island believe the ravages of the cholera and the failure of the rice crop, from which the popula tion has suffered so severely, are a visita tion from the gods for the toleration of the missionaries of Christianity in their midst. The principal advocate of this belief, a native, who was educated by the missionaries, though he never made a profession of faith, propagates his doc trine by tracts aud circulars, thus making use of the weapons of the missionaries in his attack upon them. C17* The amount paid by the govern ment of France for the support of public worship is 38,770,950 francs for the per sonal expenses of ecclesiastics in activc service, 302,100 francs for expenses of the administration of public religious services 535,000 francs for ecclesiastical pensions; 2,500.000 fr. for expenses of worship in the colonies. The government not only provides houses of worship, but also keeps them in repair, which involves another item of some 42,000,000 francs.

EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAT AnuIOOI December 22. 8PIBIT OF THE XOKHUfQ PRESS. The Union disousses the tariff question with the Philadelphia North American, and con tains a card from Hon. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, in refatation of a story laying that he owes)fcis re-election to Know Nothing votes. This he deniea, and presents statistics to dis prove the allegation: The Know Nothing papers that make this accusation know well that their societies were organized for the benefit of my opponent, and that he obtained their votes. Without this organization, and upon the Nebraska issue alone, my majority, in my opinion, would have been increased near two thousand. Is it a part of tha system of the Know Nothings to claim every victory, in order that they induce the belief that they are not om nipotent is this the way in which their dis tinguished advocate (Mr. Banks) claims that they control legislatures, courts, and judges? Is it a part of their plan, when they mean to utter a falsehood, to aay it is reported," and give common rumor as their author? _ I belong to to seoret political organise tion; I never have belonged to any such par ty and I trust I never shall be identified with them. History admonishes me that they are dangerous to liberty, and prolific of an archy, confusion, and bloodshed If there is honor, integrity, or truth in those that have invented and circulated this falsehood against me, they will publish this, my reply, or their own disclaimer of the slan der. W. A. Richardson." The Intelligencer declines editorial to-day I tT Those having goods for the Christmas holidays are reminded that, as Christmas come3 on Monday, to-morrow will be the last day previous to the great holiday on which they will have the privilege of letting the pub lic know what they have for sale. A Baltimore Book?" Brushwood." "Ben Bolt," our Baltimore correspondent, sends us the following I have just finished the perusal of a hand somely printed volume, numbering over three hundied pages, entitled '-'Brushwood picked up on the Continent, or last Summer's Trip to the Old World," by our well known towns man Orville llorwitz, Esq. It is not my usual habit to notice literary productions in a desultory daily correspond ence but as the author is one among our most talented citizens, a gentleman of elabo rate education and deep scientific research, be sides an intimate friend and acquaintance, I feel disposed to give his book a passing notice. This I do, not because he is a citizen, nor be cause he is a friend, but that the volume in review is one possessing unquestionable* merit, and is among the most interesting of its ktnd I havo ever read. Tho style is elevated, chaste, classic, and beautiful, and the narra tive throughout replete wiih interest. The reader of this work is carried rapidly through England, France. Germany, Italy, Switzer land, and other part bill I framed for the purpose has hs(d the good for I tune to pass. 'Ihe- principal difficulty in the I way, we believe, has been that the members I have been too much occupied with eontrover I sies of a mere .party nature .to giye their at tention to thesubjec t. Most persons have been I willing to admit that if we hare occasion for la commercial representative in a foreign I country, our j government should pay him for I his services?'but with this admission the mat I ter has ended. I "It is not our intention to go over the argu I ments tending to show that the practice-of I making our oonsuis depend for their compen I sation on the fee* they can extract from trav I elers by endorsing their passport*, is an un I just and uneqnal one. On that point we have I frequently spoken; and it is enough to" say I here that the American traveler has in most leases no teal occasion for the services of the I consul. It is, in fact, fortunate when he find? I no consul of his own country in the port I through whioh he must pass, for then he is I saved the troable of laying his passport be I fore him, and has so muok the less to pay.=~ I Evening Post., .i. r.

A Great Speech.?Mr. Pettigru, of South Carolina, a very distinguished lawyer, charmed a large audience, this morning, in the Su preme Court room by his argument in a case In which a testator left his property in trust, to be expended for the most charitable pur poses. Mr. P. contended that the bequest was in terms too valid to be efftettve. Confirmed by $h| Senate ?Jared C. Martin, of Ark., receiver of public moneys at Little Rock, Ark., vice Befij. P.

The Union accidentally announced this confirmation by the wrong name of Jacob C, Martin. i _ Worthy of Hete.?This morning, the Com mittee of Ways and Means reported the two remaining general appropriation bills. So they have thus early cleared their desks of work.

Ill the House, the bill to allow the corpo ration of Georgetown to lay an additional tax for Railroad purposes, and to light their city With gas, was passed?years 82, nays 63. Mr.May reported from the Judiciary com mittee, i bill organizing the Courts in the District of Columbia, and to reform and im prove the laws thereof, moving to put this bill on it* passage. Stated thai the President, in Decembar[^53l referred to this subject in his message, which was accompanied by a report from the Attor ney General Xhese documents were referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, of whioh he was a member. A bill to remedy existing defects in the judiciary was reported by him in JunjB last, but was recommitted for the pur pose of modification, which having been effect ed, it was now again reported. lie gave the history and plan of the exist ing courts in this Distriot, and said the laws were the same aa Ihey were at the time of the deed of cession by Maryland, wiihopt altera tion or improvement in the scheme of juris prudence, except here and thero an exception, which he might term a tinkering, and which, in'the opinion of many legal men, rather dis figured than improved the code. The system, he repeated, was extremely defective, as he proceeded (o show. The people of the District were almost unanimous for th$ ajjplition of the present judiciary system; and, in this connec tion, said that in Jane, 1850, the question was taken at tjie polls ef this city, and while twelve hundred and eeventy four persons voted for "reform, but twenty-seven voted against if. The present system, he argued, is too large and cumberous, and the process too slow; be sidea, unnecessarily expensive The bill which he had introduced, proposes to abolish the present system altogether, and to establish other courts in the place of those now existing; the design being to facilitate the adn^inistra tion of justice, having a view to economy. Mr. Bridges moved that the bill be put on its passage," and demanded the previous ques tion. He, however, withdrew the motion at the request of Wi. ay. In the Senate, to-day, they met and ad journed over until Tuesday next, being in ses sion but a few minutes. In the House, Mr. Houston reported from the Ways and Means Committee the Post'Office Department und the Ocean Mail Steamor ap propriation bills for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 3S56; both committed. Various looal and private bills were report ed and referred. Mr. llibbard movod a resolution directing the committee on naval affairs to enquire into and report on the propriety of granting per mission to the inhabitants of Seavey's island, to build a bridge across an arm of the Pisquat aqua river on to the Kittery Navy Yard greunds and to grant them a road through those grounds to the village of Kittery; agreed to. Mr. Fuller reported from the Commerce Committee a resolution authorizing and direct ing the President to open a correspondence with the British authorities, with the view to induce that Government to erect a first class light-house on Cape Race, in whole or in part, at the cost of this Government. This resolution va3 debated by Mr. Fuller for it, and Mr. .Smith of Va when the latter moved its commi.ment; not agreed to. This resolution was then further debated by Mr. McMullin against it. The question was being put by yeas and nays on the passage of this resolution as our report went down. Iowa United States Senator ?The two houses of the Iowa lcgi-lature met in conven tion on the 14th instant, for the purpose of electing a.United States senator in the place of Hon. A. C.

Two ballots were taken, with the following result: Dodge, democrat 29 Warren, fusionist 18 Harlan, fusionist........... 12 Cook, national whig...*,..,..,... 6 A caucus of the fusionist members and the six national whigs who voted for Mr. Cook was held the same evening, when Mr. Harlan was nominated. The six national whig members retired from the caucus with the determina tion not to support the nominee. As the bal ance of power rests with them, they can either secure the re-election of Mr. Dodge, or have the election postponed until next winter. After iho tw? h*Hots, as noticed above, had been taken, a motion prevailed to postpone the election untill Thursday, the 21st instant, (yesterday.,) The LABOBnft* Men op New York.?Last evening, there was a large meeting of the la. boring men of New York city in the Park.

BALTIMORE COBBB8POVDSICK. Amusements in the Monumental City Charles Street Theatre Mvsfttm and Front Street Theatre. Baltimore, Dec. 21,13*4. With the approach of th? holidays cornea the amusements. The Charles street Theatre opened on Monday last to a brilliant and ap preciative audience. Daring the week, "Ho neymoon," "Scriotu Family," and "Stranger" have been played to large houses. The in imitable and unapproachable John Owens, and the elegant and aooompliahed Mrs. D. P. Bowers, are nightly received with marked ap probation. We predict an unprecedented suo cess for this establishment. With the talent enlisted, it cannot but prove themost artrae-1 tive report in our city. The Museuinifi_dQiHg a good business wii'i the u Naiad Queen." Considering Uie esse of the stage, the piece ifl gotten up in a capital! manner. The scenery, dresses, and all the paraphernalia of the fairy spsotaole are in a i style of splendor whorthy of the largest of ear theatres. While we say thns much of the piece, we must object to the bold and lasoivious exhibition of the prinoipal danseuse. She must understand that the whirl of her dress to an elevation with her waist will not atone for bad dancing, and that the awkwardness of movement is illy requited by the exhibition of the entire leg. A modest demeanor, less. haughty carriage, and better style of dancing would be very acceptable. W.e commend the above to the manager. At the Front Street Theatre, Mr. Forrest has! been doing an immense business. lie has been ably assisted by Miss Lizzie Weston and i A. H. Davenport, both of the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia. The former huo com mended hercelf to the public by her natural, and elegant impersonation of such parts as Virginia and Ophelia. It Is loo apt to be the case, that unobtrusive merit -occupies the back j ground, while prosumptuous wedioority is al lowed to strut itself before the public to the detriment of the drama. Such has been the case j with Miss Weston. She has too long been con fined to what are called light, javenile chars?- j ters, when she has tho ability to fill the highest walks of the drama. Her Virginia and Ophelia are not surpassed by any living actress. The success of Mr. Forrest is, in a great measure, attributable to her admirable acting, Mr. A. i II.
