WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1856—#. DA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1856. ' The Coronation of the Czar, The following beautiful description of the scene in the ‘Church of the Assumption at the Coronation of the Czar is from the pen of William Russell; the Irishtaan, the special correspondent of the London Zimes: The Empress Dowager and the Imperial family have already entered the church and taken their places on the platform round the thrones. Amid the ringing of bells and the shouts of the populace the young Emperor and his bride reach the entrance of the church. And now they detach themselves from. the crowd of oflicials about them, and passing along the gorgeous screen that separates the chancel from the church, they fall on their knees before the images of the saints, kiss with fervent reverence the sacred relics, and they offer up silent prayers to heayen, Let the perfect grace and earnesthess with which the young Empress performs these acts be noted. She is richly attired in a white robe, studded with the finest jewels, but her head is adorned only by her own luxuriant hair, without a single ornament. Her right hand is ungloved, and with this she crosses herself as she performs her religious offices, not mechanically, as if going through part of a prescribed ceremony, but-fervently, religiously, and with the grace of perfect womanhood. And now the Emperor, followed by his bride. moants the platform of the throne, and repeats from a book delivered to him by the Archbishop of Moscow the confession of his Christian faith, He then receives the benediction of the Archbishop, and suddenly the choir, which has hitherto preserved silence, bursts out in psalms and praise to God, and the holy building vibrates with the ring of their harmonious voices, There isno note of organ or sound of other instrument, The signers, admirably orgauized, and chaunting with astonishing power and precision, need no support; the plaintive soprano voices of the boys rise clear and distinct above the deep tones of the rich basses, and the sustained harmony, solemn and affecting, throbs through the holy building. But already the imperial mantle of silver aud ermine, richly studded with gems, is in the hands of the Archbishop, who sroceeds to clasp it round the shoulders of his fajesty. Next follows the great crown, whicli is placed by the same hands on the imperial head, reverently bent to receive it, and the sceptre and globe are then delivered to his Majesty, who, invested with these royal insignia, seats himself on the throne, The Empress now approaches with a meek yet dignified air, and falls on her knees before the Emperor. His Majesty, lifting the crown from his own head, touches with it that of the Empress, and again seats it on his own brows. A lesser crown is then bronght, which the Emperor places op the head of the Empress, where it is properly adjusted by the Mistress of the Robes, and his Majesty, having invested his bride with the imperial mantle, draws her towards him, and tenderly embraces her. This isthe signal for the whole imperial 'family, with the foreign princes, to approach and congratulate their Majesties, *and nothing can be more touching than the spectacle, from the evident earnestness with which. embraces (which are, indeed, the expression of the deep and cordial love which binds in one common bond of tenderness all the members of the imperial family) are received and returned. Oh! for a touch of nature whie> .»xkes all the world kin! How elcetric is its effect! Ifere, in the midst of a ceremony necessarily stiff and formal, there is suddenly, on the part of the principal performers, a general outburst of natural feeling; and mark its effect—there is scarccly a dry eye among the immense masses crowded in the church, while the feeble frame of the EmpressMother toiters with outstretched arms towards . the imperial son, and passionately clasps and . holds himina long embrace; and tears and smiles ming) together as the little grand dukes . are seen to clamber up to the side of their fa' ther and uncle, who has to stoop low in order to reach the little faces which asked to be kissed, But the most important and solemn part of . the ceremony has now to be performed, and there is a general stilluess in the church as the Emperor descends from his throne and proceeds to the entrance of the chancel. He is met there by the Archbishop of Moscow, who holds in his hands the sacred vessel which contains the holy oil. Stretching forth his right hand, the venerable father takes a golden branch, with which, having dipped it in the consecrated oil, he anoints the forchead, cyelida, nostrils, ears, hands and breast of the Emperor, pronouncing the solemn words—Impressio doni Spiritus Sancti,’ The act is done, and Russian eyes look with awe upon the anointed of God, the . delegate of His stabil the high priest of His church, at once Emperor and Patriarch, consecrated and installed in his high temporal and spiritual office. A salvo of cannons, the bray ‘of trumpets, the roll of drums, announce the . completion of the sacred act to the ears of those who are without the church and cannot witness . it. Meanwhile the Empress comes forward and isin like manner anointed by the Archbishop, but on the forehead only. Then the Emperor and Empress, the one on the right the other on the left of the Archbishops of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novgorod, receive the holy sacra. ment; to the Emperor, and the chosen servant . privileged by heaven, it is ministered in the two kinds; the Empress receiving only the sac/remental bread, which is partaken of by all members of the Russian church, Onve more the choir burst out in full jubilant chorus, and their Majesties once more mount the platform of the throne, and stand erect, while the mass is intoned by the priests, and the responses are chanted by the the choir. The holy service being concluded, the Emperor steps from the throne, bows right and left to the great dignitaries of the state, to the prelates, to the repre. sentatives of foreign powers, and then leaves the church by the northern gate, accompanied . by his splendid retinue, and followed a short distance by the Empress. An Aspucrion.—The St. Louis Intelligencer, of the 25th September, tells the following story: A few nights ago, one of the most daring abductions ever heard of occurred in our city. . We forebore saying any thing about it before, in hopes that some light would be thrown upon the matter, but as yet itis buried in profound mystery. About half past eleven o’clock, a . carriage, to which four horses were attached, was driving at a furious rate down Morgan street. Inside were four men and a woman, the latter screaming murder, and imploring help from the passers by. Some gentlemen who were standing in the street, ran up and attemp. ted to stop the horses, when one of the persons . inside presented a revolver, and threatened to shoot any one who interfered. He also threatened to shoot the driver if he stopped. The latter put whip to the horses, and kept on ata dashing pacé, and nothing farther is known of the transaction. From all the circumstances, there can be no doubt that some horrible crime has been perpetrated. Deatu on THE Pramie.—The Decatur (IIl.) Chronicle says that the skeleton of a man was found on the prairie, about eight miles southeast of that town. It was evidently that of some one who was frozen to death last winter, being enveloped in three coats and three pairs of pants. A carpet sack and gun were lying near, and every thing indicated that some traveler lost his way, and had laid down in the sleep of death. contem Jefferson and Hamilton. These emitient men have been often’ compared aud contrasted by their separate admirers as to their talents, their services to-their county and their influence on succeeding generaons.” When we consider the very early age at which Hamilton obtained distinctioa as a political writer; that at thirty he was associated with Madison and Ja the new Federal Constitution, and that he was the ablest as well as the largest’ contributor to that unrivalled commentary on our. political system; and ability reports to Congress, we cannot hesitate to award in expounding and defending vhen we further recollect the readiness with which he wrote his numerous to him the = of superior genius over all his 8. Of the services of these statesmen, as. well to the country as to the Administration of which they were members, they both mué&t bé placed in the highest rank. Hamilton, at the head of the Treasury. Department, subjected the finances of the nation+the collection, : safe-kceping, and distribution of its revenue, the duties and the responsibilities of all its fiscal officers—to a course of regulations so efficient and complete as to have since undergone no material change. Jefferson, on bis part, in his diplomatic correspondence generally, and especially with Genet and with Hammond, defended the rights and interests of his country with masterly ability.— The decimal currency, of which he was the authorymay claim to have rendered more useful service to his country than any one of which his rival can boast. The saving of time and trouble which this improvement has already ef: . fected it is not easy to estimate. On the score of official services, their merits may be regarded as not materially different. But as to their influence on succeeding generations, there can be no comparison between them. Hamilton’s political principles, gradually losing weight in this country, hort now all . but disappeared, except in a very. small class, about as numerous perhaps as the disciples of Sir Robert Filmer, or of Hobbes, in their day; while Jefferson’s still flourish in undiminished vigor. His political maxims, exhibited ina form which the humblest capacity can understand and remember’, have become familiar to every American, and have obtained the currency and almost the weight in proverbs, He has added new force to the prejudices of his countrymen against the artificial distinctions of rank; and his denunciations of the abuses of power find an echo in the bosoms of the great mass of the American people. Being in accordance with the great fundamental principles of our nature, they are transmitted from generation to generation, and are ever gaining new force and au. thority from time. They pervade the American mind as one ofits elements, and can no more be separated from it than solar heat or . electricity from the atmosphere. If Hamilton’s . talents have modified the machinery of the Fedcral Government, Jefferson’s more penetrating . influence has acted on its incorporeal part, its . soul, and consequently partakes of the same su. periority over his rival’s that mind has over . matter.— Tucker's History of the United States. \ — Arrest or THE Suproskp MurpErer oF WALn AND WILLLIAMSON,—-Last week, says the Los . other man. The Grave of President Monroe: © The New York Times calls attention to the fact that the remains of President Monroe ane interred in a burial ground in that city, without a monument to wank his resti naipinee. He lies beneath a simple slab, upon “hi . is merely.the inscription—“James Monroe, Robert Tillotson. Vawlt No. 147.” ‘There is nothing to ind that the James Monroe mentioned is. the Monroe who was in the battle of White Plains, and received a ball in his shonlder at the attack on Trenton; who fought by the side of Lafayette at Brandy wine} ho was Minister to France in 1794, and afterwards te England; who was Seeretary of State in 1811, and for two full terms President of these United States. Yet such is the fact, and that weather-stained slab of marble, two feet square, is all the monument that Ex-President uroe has.) The Times states the following ddifioval facts : As Mr. Moiroe Was a Virginian, it is the supition of most that he died and was uried within the Old Dominion, but this is dn error, : Mr. Monroe, in his last days, resided with Samuel Gouverneur, late postmaster of this city who married his only daughter; theit residence was.oa the coraer of Prince and Elm streets, The venerable Dr, Francis tells us that he often met Mr. Monroe walking out, when the weatlicr was fine, and that on these occasions he was the object of the most affectionate ‘attentions, He has often met him, making purchases for the family, at Centre Market, where all the stallmen knew and honored him. He was tall and spare, very modest in his bearing, dignified and genilemanly. In his address, he was hesitating and diftideut, as polite to the poorest and humblest. He was one of the inost industriots of men, a hard student, and his cares left their marks on his face. The wound that he received at Trenton was felt for many years afterwards—indeed, throughout all his life he occasionally sutfered from it. His last iiiness was a long and tedious one— His attendant was his sen-in-law’s fam!lr phy sician, Dr, Berger, . He expired at 10} o clock on the morning of the 4th of July, 1891. His funeral was a v imposing one—the largest that at that tinie had ever been seen in New York. The military, under General Jacob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broadwa from Prince to Broad street, through which it passed to the cemetery. The day was fine, and the signs of mourning were generally adopted by our citizens. The vaultin which his dust still lies, is on the east side of the cemetery just to the right of the main walk, as you look in from the entrance. The passer-by will notice a small pole, on which a dove honse is perched. Withiu a yard of that pole is the sacred spot, Mr. Monroe shares even his grave within anHe had no wealth when he died, and in his death no tomb of his own.

Since that time he has been lurking about San Juan and other places in this county, This fact com. ing to the knowledge of Mr. Lyon, he immedi. ately communicated with Mr. Peterson, who took the course above detailed, and now has the . satisfaction of having captured the most dangerous and daring outlaw in the southern country.

Prams on Fire.—The Chicago Zimes spoils a great deal of lofty composition which bas appeared in the popalar magazines, by the folow. ing matter of fact statements: “A great deal of fine writing has been wasted, innumerable and excellent adjectives have been . misused, in discribing these prairie fires.

One of the first hooks given to the child at school contains, even at the present day, an execrable woodcut representing divers quadrupeds using their legs for . their lives to get away from the fire, which is furiously pursuing at their heels. It is unexplaincd, however, to the child that every animal in a wild state will flee from the sight of fame; that it is an instinct of his nature, and not any knowledge he may have of danger, which makes him doso. The character of a prairie fire depends on the wind and the combustible nature of the grass. If the latter be dry it of course burns down very rapidiy, and in a high wind the fire will move with great speed ; but the flames never mount very high, and the space over which the flame exists as it advances is at most but two or three feet in width, as the flame burvs down very rapidly as it goes on. A horse and rider might always leap across. with ease and safety.
