ENLISTMENTS FOR THE EASTERN WAR. It is settled beyond a doubt that recruiting offices are now actually open in Philadelphia, New York, and other American cities, to procure soldiers for the British "foreign legion," to serve in the pending war against Russia. The agent in New York has shipped off eighty persons already totoHalifax, where they arc sworn and regularly mustered into service, and be says he could procure five hundred men in New York in a week, if he had the means of shipping them. Fully that number have already applied, though the agency had been open but a few days. These agents are regularly commissioned by the Governor of Nova Scotia, and have issued advertisements, offering a bounty to recruits.— The office in Philadelphia has done as large a business as the New York office, most of the applicants in both cities being Germans. The agents do not profess to recruit, but only to take charge of the men offering, and furnish them with a passage to Halifax, where they may be recruited. And in all this the parties have been acting in direct violation of the neutrality Jaw of 1818, which provides that—

If any person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, enlist or enter himself, or hire or retain another person to enlist or enter himself to go beyond the limits or jurisdiction of the United States with intent to be enlisted or entered in the service of any foreign prince, state, colony, district or people, as a soldier, a mariner, or seaman on board of any vessel of war, letter of marque, or privateer, every person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and he fined not exceeding one thousand dollars, and imprisoned not exceeding three years.

The attention of Mr. MCKEON, U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, has been called to this matter, and he has addressed a letter to the Marshal of the District, enjoining upon him to employ such means as may be at his command to prevent all infractions of this law.

QUEEH VICTORIA INSANE.—It is asserted in diplomatic circles at Washington, says the Buffalo Democracy, that private despatches, received by the last steamer, leave no room for doubt that the Queen of Great Britain is rapidly going the way of her ancestors, symptoms of derangement having plainly shown themselves during her recent illness. It was said, and probably with truth, several years since, that the hereditary malady was apparent in Victoria, but she recovered at that time. It is not at all unlikely that we shall soon hear of a Regency, and Prince Albert may yet aittain the height of his ambition, and reign over his English cousins.

neater bit of satire than the fol

lowing, one rarely picks up. Read it. It suits the presciii ago perhaps as well as Lamb's time:

A FABLE—BR CIIARI.ES LAMB.—'My dear children,' said an old rat to his young ones, "the infirmities of age are pressing so heavily upon me, that I have determined to dedicate the remainder of my days to mortification and penance, in. a narrow and lonely hole which I have lately discovered but let me not interfere with your enjoyments. Youth is the season for pleasure be happy, therefore, and only obey my last injunction, never come near me in my retreat. God bless you all." Deeply affected, snivelling audibly, and wiping his paternal eyes with his tail, the old rat withdrew, and was seen no more for several days, when his youngest daughter, moved rather with filial affection than by that curiosity which has been attributed to the sex, stole to his cell of mortification, which turned out a hole, made by his own teeth, in an enormous Chesire cheese!"

£3T At a meetingheld at Browns Valley on the 24th inst., the following resolutions were adopted:

Resolved, That we will make use of al honorable means in our power to elect our township ticket.

Resolved, That we will not have a township grocery in Brown township, and that we the people will not submit to any such imposition.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

The following are official dispatches of the Emperor's death: Nicholas died on the 2d of March, at 1 o'clock, of influenza. He was attacked with the disease on Wenesday, and became much worse on Thursday. /-.

On Friday morning after consulting the physician respecting his approaching end, sacrament was administered to him. He then took leave of his family and expired.

Telegraphic dispatches from Berlin of the 10th inst., announce that the Czarowich Alexander assumed to reigns of government at St. Petersburgh, on the 9th of March, and received homage as Emperor.

Nicholas has recalled Menchikoff and appointed Gortchakoff chief in command Osten Sachen second, and Ludurs to Bessarabia.

Alexander'had appointed Gen. Rudewer Minister of war. The Allies have ordered their Generals to press forward.

Emperor Alexander has succeeded peaceably to the throne of Russia. He issued a manifesto, stating that he would adhere to the policy of his father Nicholas.

Constantine and other brothers, of Alexander have taken oaths of allegiance. Alexander has confirmed Diplomatist, Gortchakoff's previous instructions to negotiate, and the first preliminary Conference has been held at Vienna.

There had been more fighting in the Crimea. The French stormed the redoubt skillfully and re^ed during the night.

Several hundred mefi were killed. It is rumored that the Grand Duke Michael was wounded, and died at Sebastopol. A large force of Russians threaten to attack Balaklava.

The blockade of the Danube was raised. Braussa was destroyed by an earthquake, and most of the inhabitants perished.

A disagreement has arisen between Napoleon and England Napoleon declaring! that the armies should no longer act togeth-1 er if Roebuck's committee proceeded.— Lord Clarendon proceeded by express to Bologne and made matters straight. In the meantime the committee proceeded, but it is thought that Parliament would be dissolved. .•

The Kink of Denmark is very sick. Serious difficulties are reported in Turin, Switzerland and Belgium, and the crisis still continues.

The last words of the Czar to the Empress was, "Tell Frederick King of Prussia, to be attached to Russia, as he h?s heretofore been, and never forget his fathers words." It is said that a few days before the Czar's death, he succeeded in effecting a reconciliation between his two eldest sons, Alexander and Constantine.

The news of the Emperor's death was received in England with fjreat demonstraO O tions of joy. Several theatre managers came before the curtains and announced the fact which was received in most instances with tremendoiTS cheering.

Ambassadors in Paris announced the new Emperor's accession. A synopsis of Alexander's manifesto, received via Konigsburg, which declared the welfare of his empire his only object, and he will endeavor to maintain Russia on the highest standard of honor and glory, and aim to accomplish the incessant wishes and views of his predecessors, and hopes his subjects will assist him therein. The Berlin Court placed itself in proper mourning. Orders were received for the whole Prussian army to wear symbols of mourning for lour weeks.

The Vienna Conference caused great agitation. The Emperor of Austria directs an acknowledgement of services rendered by Nicholais during tho time of his unfortunate trials.

Upon receipt of the news of the death of the Emperor in Paris, orders were sent to Canrobert to press on the siege of Sebastopol with the utmost vigor.

Nothing was known about the departure of Napoleon to the scene of war. Additional preparations were making for the meeting of Plenipotentiaries at Vienna on the 6th inst.

No Russian representation was present at the Conference. The object of the debaters was to conclude upon the precise meaning of the third section of the guaranteed points.

General Medell had left Paris on his return to Berlin. He was said to be the bearer of instructions which would incur the conclusion of the treaty between Prussia and the western powers.

The chamber of deputies at Stutlango had voted the three million of thaliers demanded by the Minister of War, but insisted formally in the bill of recommendation, to follow closely the policy of Austria.

The Ratification treaty with Sardinia had been exchanged. The Bisop of Sebastopol. reached Paris on the 7th of March, and stated that 50,000 Russians threatened the English forces at Balaklava. Busquet was endeavoring to get his corps in Tear of the enemy, with a view of cutting them off from their reinforcements if they become the attacking party.

The weather was rainv. Menschikoff

says the French were repulsed with a loss of 600 men. The French claim. the victory with the loss of 100 men. The French destroyed the works around Malekoff, but with great loss. Nothing new had occurred at Eupotoria tdHhe 5th of February.— At the latest dates a fine convoy of 200 wagons had succeeded in entering Sebastopol.

There was "considerable firing* oh both sides, with more or less effect during the night of the 21st ult. the Russians threw up an armed redoubt in the flank of the fortifications of Sebastopol, and on the night of the 25th were stormed by the French. Accounts of the event are very contradictory.

SWITZERLAND.—Disturbances have broken out in some of the Cantons. The difficulty is between the federal Commission and citizens of Canton.

BELGIUM.—The political crisis continues. The country is yet without a Ministry. The King of Denmark is dangerously ill.

ENGLAND.—The London Morning Herald says they have most excellent authority for stating that the French Emperor has remonstrated against the Committee for enquiring into the conduct of the war, and said that, in the event of the Committee continuing, the two armies cannot act together, although they may aim for the same object.

It is not known whether the recent visit of Clarendon to the Emperor of the French had any reference to the above matter or not.

Lord Lucan has been denied a court martial. The Reobuck committee is proceeding in their investigations, and apprehensions are felt that another Caffre war is about to take place. The government is taking active measures to avert it, if possible.

BOSTON, March 27.

Mr. Thomas yf. Hooper, paying teller of the Merchants bank of this city, hung himself this morning in the bank cellar. The accounts of the bank are all right so far as known. ,.

CHICAGO, March 27.

The Navigation has commenced on the west shore of Lake Michigan. The Steamers are making daily trips to and from Chicago, Milwaukie and Sheboygan, and crowded with freight and passengers. The business is very good for so backward a season. It is now snowing heavy, and has all appearances of mid-winter. The cars are full of passengers and freight for the West and North-west. The Upper Mississippi is yet closed.

SPEECH OF KISSANE.

TIIE REPLY AND SENTENCE. In the Court of Sessions this morning, Wm. Kissane, who was found guilty of forgery on the Chemical Bank, was called up for sentence. The Court-room was crowded, and many were unable to obtain admittance. He wore a downcast look, and was very pale as he made his appearance at the bar. When the usual question was put to him why sentence should not be pronounced, he stepped forward, and with a trembling voice, said: "I fully deserve any penalty which may be inflicted upon me. Two years ago I was living happy with my family in Ohio, respected by all. But at one fatal hour I committed that for which I am now to receive my sentence, and my family to be cast upon the world, who will shudder at the name I bear. Yet, it is my fault. Had I paused and pondered, I should not have been here, and you would have been saved the unpleasant duty which you are compelled to do. I must have been in a dream when I committed the crime. "But the law must be fulfilled. I can escape by the cars, as has been testified here, p.nd could sleep many nights in woods without cover, but I can never escape the feeling of guilt I now feel. I had hoped to have reached some distant country where I would not have been known, and there lived happy but fate and fortune has willed it'otherwise, and I am here."

The Recorder then said: "You have been tried and found guilty, and if there is anything unpleasant, it is sentencing a man to a cell of a prison. An individual who might have been a bright and shining light to all his friends, has become a total wreck, and I hope never, while I hold this honorable seat, to be compelled to discharge so painful a duty again. Your course in life, up to within two years, has been one of industry and integrity. Alas! that one so young, and with such talent, could come to this! "You are yet young enough to obtain, when you come from prison, an honorable profession. I had intended to have sent you to the longest term the law permits.— But what you have here said—and I hope you feel it—has compelled me to alter my mind and the sentence is: that you be imprisoned for the term of two years and six months in the State prison."

When the Recorder had ended his remarks, Kissane thanked the Recorder for his kindness to him, and asked leave to remain in the City Prison until Friday, which was granted. He was then removed to the Tombs. -T

HINDOO CATECHISM.—1.—Is a lie a lie? 2.—Is it right to lie? 3.—Is it honorable to lie? 4.—Is it religious to lie? 5.—Is it right, honorable, or religious to promise to lie? 6.—Is it right, honorable, or religious to induce others to He?

It is said the Hindoos, in answering these questions, use one negative and jive affirmatives^

From the State Sentinel

BILL PO6LE.

Since the days of tbe crusades, the human intellect has failed to devise a scheme, the effect of 'which was to unite, in ono class, elementsso antagonistic in character, as has been done through the instaimen* tality of the Know Nothings organization Bishops and bandits, priests, and pirates, kings and culprits, were all leagued under the crusade banner some actuated by religious enthusiasm, some by the spirit of adventure, and many by a thirst for plunder. The American Crusade of the nineteenth century, is less reasonable and ecjftally ridiculous. The source of its real vitality is the atmosphere of religious intolerance and bigot fanaticism. These are its spirit,—its body is the adventure in search of mystery, the cunning in search of craft, the party pirate in search of place, and power, and protection.

The enthusiast, blinded by a spirit of intolerance worse than that which he lays at the door of his enemy, will pile upon the polluted altar of his prejudice, hrs tarnished religion and his blighted fame. Upon the same altar are thrown the offerings of the adventurer, the party-spoils-hunter, the gambler, the drunkard, the desperado and the bully. The higher are lowered, the lower are elevated to a common standard/ where religion has lost its virtue and d6pravity ceased to be a crime. Let this course of degredation in the American character go on, and the scenes of declining Rome will be re-enacted in our midst vice will take precedence of virtue and our rulers will be out-laws and desperadoes.—• The quiet, but moral citizen, wh.en his earthly career is ended, is silently carried to his grave, and a few friends stand around it and mourn his departure. The unobtrusive minister of the gospel, who has spent a useful life in administering to the spiritual wants of those placed by an overruling hand in his charge, when hi3 labors are over, is bore away by those that loved him, to rest in forgotten obscurity. The learned jurist or the great statesman, who, after a brilliant useful career, shrouds his mortal in the "sleep that knows no waking," is, perhaps, borne to his sepulchre in pomp and ceremony, surounded by a thoughtless, heartless, gay and glittering throng of his countrymen. But, let the puglist die let the great bullyof a secret political organiin our midst, be sent suddenly to his long home, by the reception of a fatal wound in a drunken frolic, and a cortege of dazzling, unequalled splendor and astonishing apparent respectability, attends upon his funeral obsequies.

These thoughts were suggested, upon reading, some time since, an article from the New York Correspondent of the Buffalo Republic, from which we extract the following:

WHO WAS BILL POOLE?—"Poole's funeral yesterday was a very large one. Ho was connected with the order of U. A., and the turnout was so large as to mako quiet people, who do not carry revolve! s, nor get drunk daily, nor fight for a living, ask each other by what new dispensation of Providence it came about, now-a-days, that out-laws and bullies, rowdies rumsuckers and gamblers by profession, when they happened to get their deserts, and go home, to their father, the devil, were buried with the honors of war, and had their "bring-® ing home" blessed by the most reverend, the clergy: while pious folk, Supreme Court Judges, and other magnates of virtue and respect, are smuggled out of sight as quietly as if the dead *^re burying their dead. Proh pudor! Primary elections are at the bottom of it. Poole was the great Whig bully of the Eight Ward. I remeember his £finding at the polls there, stripped to his undershirt, taking tickcts out of the hands of timid men and forcing others on them, and knocking down any peaceable citizen who ventured lo have a political will of his own. I only wonder that Seward or Thurlow Weed don't deliver a funeral oration at his grave, and chronicle the history of one of the bravest centuries of their Prtetorian cohert of "shoulder-hitters" in this city."

TELEGRAPHIC IMPROVEMENTS.—The Louisville Journal learns that a Mr. Hughes, of Ky., has invented a printing telegraph, or telegraphic apparus, of the following wonderful powers:*

"One cup of Morse's battery will send a message by this instrument as far as ono hundred cups by any other telegraphic instrument. Thus, a Grove battery capable of sending a message 300 miles by the instrument now in use, will send it 30,000 miles by this machine. Relay magnets are unnecessary in using this instrument. Tho action of this machine by the holding, instead of the receiving power of electro-mag-netism, is a great advantage over all other telegraphic apparatus. It prints with great rapidity. The keys containing the letters occupy a space of 8 by 2 inches, and tho telegraphing is accomplished as rapidly aa the keys can be touched. No matter how many keys may be touched, the corresponding letters are impressed upon the paper. Any one who can spell can use this instrument. And while two offices are in communication the operator in the receiving office need not be present.

THE LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.— We understand that a sporting gentleman in this city, who has paid great attention to the culture of rats, offers to make a bet of considerable amount, that he will, during the coming summer, before a light wagon, built on purpose, drive a team of those animals from the Astor House up Broadway to Union Square He estimates that he can accomplish the task with one hundred rats in harness. It will be a novel sight and will take down any show ever made by Kipp & Brown with one of their fancy teams. New York will be on hand at the ratification of this affair. A posse of police will be detailed for the occasion, to clear the track, and all omnibusses will bo required to take the back streets.—JV. Y. Sunday Atlas.
