of expression delicately turned—severed scarcely sufficient parting, and open just enough to allow the curt and precisc expression of a will emanating from reflection, and inexorably resolved. Thc voice is in-! dolent and drawling, but self-reliant and the difference which shows itself is but the excess of that confidence. Courage concealed by timidity—resolution disguised by

gentleness inflexibility softened by mild-

ness—policy hidden by good nature—life under marble—fire under ashes in a word, something partaking of Augustus and Titus, but wiih the face of Werter, that type of German sentimentality. Such does Louis Napoleon Bonaparte appear.

The Peace Society have agitated the question in England, of how far a nation is justified in employing other and more destructive methods in war than those employed by the enemy. Admiral Napier has replied to these propositions with irony: "If you fear to hurt the enemy, put into your guns balls of cotton, and into your cannon cakes of rice."

IX FERN A MACHINES—HELP FOR Rl'SSIA—CURIOUS MOVEMENT!

We have been informed, says the N. V. Herald, of a curious and extraordinary movement for the benefit of Russia, which nothing more nor less than the destruction of the allied fleets in the Baltic. It will be recollected that on the last outward trip of the steamship Baltic ex-Alderman Wesley Smith, Jr., of this city, accompanied M. Grumwald, a Russian officer, bound for St. Petersburg!), ostensiI bly with the view of fulfilling a contract for 'supplying the imperial government with $3u0,000 worth of ship timber. We now learn that some ten or twelve other Americans went out with Mr. Smith, and that they are associated in a secret contract with

Russia for the destruction of the British and French fleet in the Baltic, (should they approach sufficiently near anv Russian port for the purpose,) by means of Taylor's submarine armor and Colt's submarine battery. The plan, we understand, is this:—A portable torpedo, of sufficient power to sink a man-of-war, is to be carried under the water by a man encased in submarine armor. He fastens the battery to the bottom of the ship, and returns to shore, when, by means of an electrical wire, the battery is fired, and the ship blown up. It is said that this Submarine Armor and Battery Company are to receive one hundred thousand pounds sterling if successful in clearing out the allied squadron and they are otherwise to receive a stipulated sum for every hostile vessel destroyed.

We give the report for what it is worth. There may be something in it. The modus
