Discovery at Gallipoli. — In n letter from a private soldier, 
dated Gallipoli, June 10, and addressed to lus family, wo read : 
“And another thing I have to inform you, wo found a young girl 
hero — an English girl. She was a slave to some Greek here ; she 
was found working in tho fields, by one of the women of the 28th 
Regiment, who was going across the fields to go to market, when 
the poor creature called her over, and asked her for a drink of 
water, and then she told her she was an Englishwoman, and had 
been slave to this Greek four years; she was shipwrecked with 
her father when she was 12 years old. She says this fellow was a 
pirate when he first took her. But the soldiers went and got some 
clue to where these fellows were, and pulled the nest about them, 
and brought five of them prisoners, and brought 20 women away 
with them — all slaves. But they had the Englishwoman confined 
in irons somewhere else. But they told tho men they would hang 
them all there and then to a tree, if they would not tell where tlio 
Englishwoman was ; and to save their lives they told, ond they 
jound the poor girl in a dungeon underground, and in irons, with 
a groat weight on her chest ; so they released her. These men are 
to be tried, and they are sure to be shot. The soldiers are going to 
make a subscription for her; she is a native of Essox.” 
Pleasant for 8t. Pbtbrsduro.— There is what is called in 
India a bazaar report, that in the event of the Allies making a 
Berious impression on St. Petersburg, the Czar has prepared a force 
of 40,000 Tartars, who are to pillage tho place ond leave it in the 
condition least calculated to be of advantage to the conquerors. In 
short a oopy of the Moscow history. This may be a bazaar 
report. 
Approaciiino Marriages in High Life.— Wo understan 
that tho preliminaries of a matrimonial alliance have been arranged 
between Lord Harry Vane, M. P., youngest brother of tho Duke 
of Cleveland nnd Viscountess Dulmeny, relict of tho late Viscount 
Dalmeny, and only daughter of Earl Stanhope. Tho contemplated 
matrimonial alliance between Mr. Stnynor Holford, the wealthy 
Commoner, and the youthful Miss Lindsoy, daughter of Colonel 
Lindsay, is expected to be solemnised oarly in the ensuing 
month. 
Ladies with the Expeditionary Army.— Several Indies are 
now with the army in tho East. Among them are the Hon. Mrs. 
Jocelyn, the lady of Lieutenant-Colonel tho Hon. C. Scott, Scots 
Fusilier Guards ; likewise tho ladies of Captain Munro, Grenadier 
Guards, and of Lieutenant-Colonel Brownrigg, Grenadier Guards. 
Theso ladies are taking practical lessons in tho useful art of 
“roughing” it in camp. They hove, of course, lodgings in tho 
town, but, nevertheless, pass a considerable portion of their tirno 
under canvas. 
PThe extent of the weekly mail for the Baltic fleet has asto- 
nished the weak nerves of the post-office authorities at Dantsic : 
it is mentioned with astonishment that in the course of 14 days 
8,500 English letters passed through their hands. On the 28th 
of June the police report of the cholera gave the number of cases 
in treatement in St. Petersburg at 405, the days previously it was 
only 114 ; on the 1st. of July there were 580. It is understood 
that it is making great ravages among the garrison of Cronstadt. 
A Growing Time. — Genial weather makes crops laugh — a 
man could almost see the grass grow without the aid of a micro- 
scope or spectacles, and spring again came out of the ground by 
the inch. Such weather pays well for a wet skin. 
A Drunken Beast. — Some wags gave a bear, at the Ham- 
tramck House, a quart bowl of whisky toddy, well sweetened. 
Bruin fancied either the alcohol or the sugar", aud sucked down, 
aiJd followed it up with the performance of a series of most com- 
plicated ground aud lofty tumbling ever before witnessed, until 
the liquor overcame him, and he lay without sense or motion 
until ten o’clock the next day. On waking, it is said that he 
called for “afresh bruin" and the temperance pledge. 
Fortune-slaking in Australia. — California Outdone. — 
Among the passengers by the bark lleloise, from Melbourne, Mr. 
Rowe, well known to the California public as the proprietor of the 
first circus company’ in this State, returned to San Francisco for 
the purpose of iuvesting the money’ he hnd made in Australia. 
Mr. Rowe has realized extraordinary success ; having accumu- 
lated the sum of 200,000 dols. during a sojourn of less than two 
years. European and home capital is so abundant in the colonies 
that the inducement for the investment is by no means compar- 
able to what exists in this country’. We are also pleased to learn 
that Mr. and Mrs. Stark have been so weU rewarded abroad as to 
enable Mrs. Stark to present her sister in this city with 20,000dols.; 
a remittance to that amount having come to hand by the Ile- 
loise. It is not the best for all professional people to allow their 
heads to be turned by the intelligence ; but that there is a good 
prospect for dramatic talent in Australia cauuGt be questioned. —

THE FIELD. 
Jenny Lino wants to go to America. — Extract from a 
? rivate letter from Vienna: — “ A few day's since I called at the 
lottl zum liomscbcn Kaiser to pay my respects to Jenny Lind 
Goldschmidt. She has a decided jicncAau/ for America and 
Americans. She informed me of her expectation to settle perma- 
nently in the United States mainly on account of her child, a 
bright little boy. She has been giving concerts in Vienna, in a 
quiet, unassuming way. She spoke of a Boston Sabbath tvs a 
delightful luxury. Here tho Subbath is made a gala-day by all 
classes. Public persons must keep open rooms as ou other days of 
the week, and the people go from the church to the theatre. 
The Jenny Lind of former days lias become the dignified Madame 
Goldschmidt of tho present. She appears somewhat older, but 
retains the frankness and simplicity of mauuers which have 
characterised her above all others. ” 
Process of Making Shot. — The pig lead is carried to tho 
top of tho tower by windlass aud chain, aud worked by steam : 
it is then put in a furnace, kept constantly burning night ana 
da.v, and attended by two sets of men, one for the lire and two 
to pour the melted lead in the strainers. After passing through 
the strainers it falls a distance of 150 feet, tho passage through 
the air giving tho shot their shape or form ; thov fall into a large 
tub or basin of water; here a man is engaged in dipping them 
out with a ladle and throwing them on an inclined plane, down 
which they run to a drum heated by steam and worked by ma- 
chinery, so as to dry the shot ; when dry’ they are passed into a 
revolving drum, which stops by actions of machinery every live 
minutes for polishing them; from this drum they" are thrown 
into a hopper, aud from this pass over a series of inclined planes, 
where the detective shot are carried off, and then through seives 
into drawers, where they are assorted by the actiou of machinery 
on the seives; then into the large boxes from which they are 
taken and put up in aaeka, weighed and are ready for use. 
A New Way to Stop Old Thibvks. — The Liverpool 
magistrates are trying a new plan to stop robberies at night : 
they have ordered tho police to lock up all kuown thieves found 
abroad after sunset. 
The Modern Parnassus. — Sinco tho promotion of tho origi- 
nator of the Penny Postage, St. Martin’s-lc-Graud may be called 
the English Parnassus, for is it not tho abode now of England’s 
Hill of Letters ? — Punch. 
Spanish English.— Tho Espana has a pioce of intelligonco 
which is worth giving for tho sako of the astounding spoiling of 
English nainos : — On tho llth ult. , it informs us, tbo English 
steamers Orinoco, Tremp, and Tounig readied the Buy of Gibraltar ; 
tbo first two from Soulehntomp (Southampton) with tho 7th unS 
23rd regiments, and the last from Dopt-fon with Gunorul irooliudg 
Camp-veel. 
Allegiance. — Wo learn that an American citizen, belonging 
to that category recognised as such by tho nationality doctrines 
of Mr. Marcy, in his llulsemunn letter, but now in France, has 
been compelled by the French authorities to draw in the con- 
scription, and, having drawn an unlucky number, he has beeu 
placed on the rank and file of tho French army. An active ne- 
gotiation is now going ou at Paris for this man’s liberation, and 
the French Cabinet is being pressed to make a final decision on 
the European doctrine of " once a subject, always a subject. ’’ 
It is expected that the Cabinet will declare, once for all, what 
amount of respect they consider duo to a renunciation of alle- 
giance, and to a simple declaration of intentions to become the 
citizen of another Government. The name of tho individual in 
question is Menard. — .Vein York Tribune, 
Head-Gear. — Tho Bashi-Bozouks do not wear the fez, but 
have a strange mid nasty fashion of bandaging tlielr heads with 
all sorts of wrappers of dirty white and dingy red and yellow, an 
ill-favoured head-dress, which gives tho idea of a perennial 
toothache. 
Mules. — Colonel John Kiuloch has passed through Madrid, oil 
his way to Catalonia, to purchase mules for the uso of tho army 
in tho East. 
Ramazan. — In Turkey a singular custom may bo noticed oven 
among the most elevated of the laud. At diiiuor for 11 months 
of the year the Pasha will use the European aid of knives and 
forks mul separate plates for each guest. During Ramazan the 
dinner is served in the old Turkish style, and it is looked upon ils 
meritorious or pleasing to return for a time to the usages which 
are abandoned, but which yet have not ceased to bo remembered 
and regretted. 
“Charley ” in the Baltic. — Ships aro in advance of the 
squadron, looking out for the “infernal machines.” All the 
ships have watches posted in their tops, reporting every floating 
log of wood that floats near bearing any resemblance to a buoy 
— an appendage said to be attached to all those submarine traps. 
Fortune’s Changes. — On the loth of April, 1818, Princo 
Louis Napoleon acted as a special constable in the streets of 
London; on the loth of April, 1854, as Emporcur Napoleon III., 
he ratified in his palace of the Tuileries a convention of ulliancu 
between his own and the British government. 
A Michigan man, who was a long time absent in Indiana, 
where he went to buy horses, apologized upon his return by 
saying that at every littlo darned town lie passed through, the 
people wanted him to stop and be president of a bank. 
Falling off in Gold in Australia. — Melbourne, February 
15, 1854. — It is pretty well “all over” with the Australian gold 
mines; the weekly yield is becoming “small by degrees ami 
beautifully less. ’’ What will your Californian readers think 
when they hear that, for the past six months, every mail in these 
diggins has not been earning, ou an average, 14s. a week, uu out- 
side average yield of 80, DUO ozs. per week, among, ut tho leust, 
150,000 diggers — out of which pittance each has to pa^' 30s. u 
month for his licence to tho government. — Cor. Han / rancUco 
Herald. 
Smart Management. — The looseness with which matters ure 
managed in the navy, is shown in America as well as here by a 
fact, that a sloop-ot-war sailed from the United States for the 
West Indies, not long since, and not until she was near Jamaica 
was it discovered that there was no shot on board to lit a gun. 
Her guns were thirty-two’s and her shot forty-two’s ; and she 
was compelled to put into Jamaica to obtain Hliot, We get this 
from Senator Mallory. At the Brooklyn navy yard they build 
gun-carriages fur no other purpose, that we can perceive, than to 
sell them at auction for kindling wood. Clever old relation tlm 
“ Uncle Sam, " well he is. 
Silistria, or. as the Turks call it, Distria, is an important post 
at the head of ship navigation ’on the Danube, standing oil the 
south side of the river, in Bulgaria, about 275 miles from Con-4 
stantinople. It is the capital of the sub-province in which it is 
situated.
