" The family of Marshal St. Arnaud have published,, at Paris, a, selection from his correspondence. while exercising the chief command of the French expedition in aid of Turkey. The letters contain much that i3 curious. They show, what has all along been suspected that thb French Marshal regarded the English Commander as a drag upon his movements. They also af ford a striking illustration of that love of retirement and of home which struggled with ambition In the breast of the old sol dier. ' ' i ' t Writing to his brother, under date of August 9, 1854, he says: . : ' "If I were to give " way to my impres sions, to my turn of mind, and the feelings of my heart,! should never have written to you a sadder letter. I urn in the midst of one vast tomb, resisting the scourge that is decimating my army, seeing my bravest soldiers .succumb at the very moment I most want them, and yet continuing, for all that, the preparations for a formidable expedition. Have there been many such situations as mine in history T My courage and energy shall at least prove equal to the occasion. God, who strikes me with one hand, raises me up with the other." To his wife, two days later, he writes from Varna as follows : "God spares us no misfortune, no calam ity, my dear. I seek all my energy in the depth of my soul j I wish 1 could find there mere resignation ; but the sublime patience flies away at sight of catastrophes, so com pletely, independent of the will, that are in cessantly striking down around you and annihilating with a breath alt the good you have been preparing with such difficulty. A violent fire broke out at 7 o'clock yes terday evening at Varna as I was alight ing from my horse on my return from visi ting my sick men. A seventh part of the town no longer exist." After landingjn the Crimea be writes to Madam St. Arnaud the following affec tionate letter, in which he utters pleasant visions of home and quiet visions, alas, never to be realized ; "Old Fort, (Crimea,) Sept. 7, 1854. "My Beloved Wife : The English are not ready, and make me lose precious time. I lent them some flat boats this morning to expedite the landing of their horses, and j 1 hope I shall be able to move at least by j eleven to-morrow morning. I shall stop for the night at the Bulganak, so that I may be quite fresh on the 9th, and force the passage during the day. If I can I will drive the Russian? to the other side of the Katcha. I promise you. I will give them no time for amusing themselves. The weather is fine, and we are favored. May God protect us yet a few days and all will go on well 1 I heard mass this morning under my large tent, and I pray ed for you. Four abbes breakfasted with me. There has been a great ,re-action in ; the army, and the Prince is at the head of it. : He says loudly that I am a man, and that but for me we should not be in the Crimea. My health is not so bad to day. I had a favorable crisis last night ; a co pious perspiration came to my relief. As 1 havo to endure all my pains, I have two cutting ones above my left breast which agonize me. Cabrol says it is my health. I could strangle him. "Nothing as yet is changed in my plans. Prince Menschikoff may do what' he likes, but I shall be before Sebastopol between the 20th and 22d. Perhaps I shall go and - - Jm nn thp. smith and leave their great preparations on the north side use less. All that will depend on what I shall see wnen i reaca tfeloek. The swifter time moves, my love, the nearer it brings me to you. 1 nis doubles my courage. I only think of the moment when we shall I . - . . i r - oe very quiei ai nome. in tne spring1 we will take a trip to Italy, and we will return by Switzerland and Germany. We will travel wtlh only two servants and like plain ioiks. : vo noi lei us duuo too many cas tles in the air, for that brings bad luck."' On the next day he writes to his wife : "I have just written to Lord Raglan that l could not wait any longer, and that I should issue my order of departure for seven o'clock to-morrow morning; and nothing shall stop me longer. " To his brother he writes from the field of battle on the Alma, September 22d, 1854 "To-day evere one thinks as I do in the armies and the fleets. The change has been rapid. It began on the 14th, broke out into.acclamalions on the evening of the zutn, and to-day I am a great man. Such is the world." Four days after writing this the Marsh al resigned bis command, and on the 29th, ipree days later, died. ' From the Lake Superior Journal of July 17. EXTRAORDINARY RISE AND FALL OF WA V TER. About nine o'clock A. M. Wednesday the. water in the canal was observed to nse quite fast. This continued until ten Cijclock, when the water reached the height of 14 ft 2 ins., as determined by the giuge at .the upper lock gate. (Them was a slight breeze ftom the N. W. at toe time.) This was about eight inches ihove its usual level. The wa ter remdined at this point for the space or abour ten minutes, then fell to a height o!; about 13 feet, at which point it again commenced rising, reaching 13 ft. 6 ins. At 11 o'clock tho water be gan to fall gradually, until at 10 o'clock it had. fallen to the height of 10 ft. 9 ins., from which point it rose and fell alternately until 4 o'clock, when it as sumed iis usual level. W hen the wa ter was l ft,: 6 ins. the wind changed from the northwest to the southeast, which, though hardly perceptible here, was plainly shown by the direction in which the the clouds were moving. The water did W vary in depth above the rapids durinV this time. The cause of tKis extraordinary phe nomenon is tmkhown to us, but was probably caused by winds above. We are compelled, by tl iis fact to believe a story which a gentleman long resident at the Saut tells us' of. an occurrence of a similar kind which" happened a num ber of years ago, but which was-much more extraordinary in fts manifesta tions. The account is substantially as follows : In the summer of 1837 an extraordi nary retrocession of waters took place at the rapids. The phenomenon occur red about noon. The day was clear, but cloudy. The water retired sudden ly, leaving ths bed cf the rivrr Ir.re, ex-ce-t fcr t" d::.;r.cj cf t 7 rol ... 4 th j f- tea c; A number of persons went out arid caught fish in the pools formed by the degressions in tho locks. The return of the waters was sudden and presen ted an imposing spectacle; .They came down like "an immense surge, and those who had incautiously -wandered into the river bed had barely time to escape being overwhelmed. One ot tne num had taken a stursreon and determined to save his prize, but the burden caused him to move much slower than the rest and he ,was obliged to throw the fish away and cling to one of the boulders in order to escape being carried off iuto the river below. ; He stayed mere uutu the- water resumed its usual aspect when he was taken off in a canoe. Thrt Tflnfdd n resented nearly the same appearance on the 18th, with the exceDtion nerhans that they were not quite as dry as represented in the above account. The bed of the river was nearly dry between the islands and the canal, the huge boulders wmcn naa been so long concealed showing their - -1 t A. ' ' water-worn snapes piamiy iu viw. The difference between the hightest and lowest stage of water in the canal, was three feet five inches. Correspondence 0 the Petersburg Exprtss.

To-morrow, we confidently believe, there will be no report, as all the sick have been removed from the infected districts, beyond which the disease has not spread.

A Singular Trial has just terminated in the Oneida Circuit Court of New York It is'thut of Emily C. Day vs. Volkert VV. Koth and NelBon Roih. By the testimony adduced, it appears that Volkert Roth wooed and won the heart of Miss Day, in England, which is her home, and formed an engagement of marriage wilh her. She had about 2500 in money, which Volkert persuaded her to entrust lo his keeping, in order that he might come to America mid establish himself sufficiently lo enable him to return and marry her, he engaging to pay interest on the sum regularly. For a time he fulfilled this latter stipulation, but finally endeavored lo gel rid of the mitr riage, and the obligation to pay the money, by repressing to Miss Day that he had failed in business. He had also managed to mix up his brother with lhe affairs bo much that it was a question which had the property. Miss Day getting alarmed for her til tie fortune, came lo the United Slates to hunt. her faithless swain. She found him at Utica, N. Y., where he had bought, with his brother, the Museum, and was cany ing it on as a place of entertainment.' She sued th m both, and claimed the Museum in part payment of i he nuney due her. After a tedious and protracted trial, the ju ry has rendered a verdict for the plaintiff uf $3,435.25, being the full value of the Museum, we presume. The money taken from Miss Day constituted all the property she had in the world. Much interest has been manifested in the case throughout, and the verdict of the press is emphatically in her favor. JUMPING OUT OF IIIS CLOTHES. About seven o'clock Wednesday morn ing Isi inst , a gentleman residing at No. 16, Varick street, New York, observed some suspicious characters at work on the basement tioor of No. 18, Varick street, the occupants of which were absent in th country. He immediately went in pursuit of an officer and found officer Martin, ol the Third Ward, who went with him to the house, where the burglars were sull t.t work and were of course secured, with a lot of burelars' tools which they wero using. While the officer were proceeding lo the station house having each of the prisoners by the coat collar, one of them actually jumped out of his coat and vest, which were left in the officer's hands, and escaped. The latest estimates of the population of the world make it eleven hundred and fifty millions, viz: Pagans ' G7G, 000,000; Christians, 320,000.000; Mohom medans, 140,000,000; and Jews 14,000, 000.
