Legation or the U. S. at I al Constantinople, June 27, J b Monsieur F Inter nonce : I have tho lion- a or to address your Excellency on the sub- ol jeet of h most unfortunate occurrence, a' which I am informed by the Consul of a my Government in Smyrna, took place w tiicro o? the 23-1 inst., aud which 1 very J" deeply deplore, inasmuch as it resulted in ?* tlio death of a young officer of the Aus- J"1' trian navy, who has thus, most probably "I without in any manner having been the c> cause of the unwarranted attack made ^ upon himself and his companions in Smvrna, been the victim of tho most inconside- 'c rate and unaccountable conduct of tbe C( Austrian Consul cf the city towards an individual natncd Martin Costa. tl This person, at the present moment in- r' careerated on board the Austrian brig of war Hussar, now at Smyrna, is, I believe, * one of the Hungarian refugees who had ri been detained at Kiutayab. Together with others, he was permitted to leave n this country in 1851, and ho proceeded I1 with them to the United States, where ho I' took the ptfelioQrtMxry steps towards be- 1 coming a citizen of the United States; 1 that is*, Vie made a forma' renunciation of c all alleghince to auy otlier Power or Sov- * ' crcign whatever, and took the usual oath " of allegiance to the Government of the United States. A few months since, M. Costa came to Smyrna from New York, 1 with the design of again proceeding to i the United States. In the afternoon of '' the 21st fnst., while seated on the marina < of Smyrna, he was suddenly set upon bv ^ Bome fifteen ruffian Greeks, all armed, ' said to have been employed for that pur- I nose by the Austrinn Consul ; and, atler v having been treated in the most brutal ? manner, was thrown into the sea, where ' a boat was waiting to receive and conduct t hini to the Austrian brig Hussar. s M. Costa, on leaving the United States, t received a legalized copy of tbc declaration which he had made there of allcgi- r iroce to the Government of the United t States, and which document, under ordinary circumstances, would recommend iiim to the friendly aid and consideration of the American authorities. It cannot be conceived hero that this individual's temporary residence in the . V /"if Smrmn paiiIiI nncoilJ?* ? ? v v. ???.. vuuiu I'VOOIUIjr CAUIIU lilt animosity of the Austrian Consul to such I a degree as to cause him to employ a band of armed ruffians to attack him, at a moment when he evidently had no reason to apprehend such an outrage, and to have liiin conveyed in an ignomiuous manner on board an Austrian vessel-of-war. It seems to me rather, that in case his presence there incommoded the Austrian Consul, the latter, at the most, would have called upon the Tuikish authorities to requiro his departure, and not, by an act of so outrageous and inhuman a nature, ex- w cito the indignation of the inhabitants of q Smyrna, and, I do not doubt it, also of the people of the United States. M, Permit me therefore to intercede w ith . your Excellency in behalf of M. Costa, in nud to ask, if not out of the respect due 111 for tho Government of the Sultan, whose 8' territory has been so grossly viola'ed by n the conduct of the Austrian Consul of d Smyrna, at least out of regard for the hi Government to which he has pledged his i, allegiance, that your Excellency he pleased r to give orders to the conm under of the Ilussar for his immediate release, so that f he may proceed to the United States. j I avail myself of the present opportuni- ' ty of renewing to yotir Excellency, the as- 1 suranccs of my highest respect, and most ^ distinguished consideration. (Signed,) John P. Brown. v k M. IIruck to Mr. Brown. u Buvckdf.rk, Monday, June 127. ^ Monsieur Is. Charge <T Affaires: By C your favor of this day's date, you have ei demanded the liberation of a certain Mar- qi tin Costa, arrested by orders of the Con- 8j s il General of Austria, at Smyrna, on the 8<J 2 2d insf. ... se I can only attribute, Sir, this interven- ^ tion on your part to a mistake, as the in dividual in question is a native of Hungary, and has never ceased to be an A us- _ trian subject, as results from his declara- in tion made in presence of the Consul of the United States at Smyrna. llis arrest consequently took place in virtue of the in treaties which i.ssuro to niv Government. the full and entire independence of its ju- UII risdiction over all its subjects in Turkey. 8U You will easily understand then, M. lo Charge d'Affaires, the absolute impossi- tQ bility of complying with your request.

" I am readily convinced, Sir, that the . moans adopted by the Austrian Consul (o '' the effect the arrest of said individual, could not merit your approbation ; and, also, I do?ot feel myself at all called upon ' to express an opinion u|?on the right which b you mention as possessed by your Gov- o ernment over all its own subjects in Tur- e key. p I cannot, however, deny myself tl a honor of onca more addressing your Excellency for tho purpose of renew ing the ^ offloial intercession which I have already , felt it my duty to make in behalf of this " Crson \ and so as to enable your excel- rt< icy to better appreciate the basis of my P] request, I have the honor to hand you (in- C closed) tiie declaration which M. Costa 8 made at New York on the 31st of Julv. N 1852, "renouncing his allegiance to the m Emperor of Austria," and taking an oath n of allegiance to the Government of the ^ United States of America. 0 The right of expatriation and of naturalization is recognized, I believe, by the ' Government of Aatrin, as well aa by otbor Gorevtuneata; and it aeema to ae that tfce arreafc (without again mentioning the 0 uteanawfaJoh the Austnaa Consul of Smyr- ? 9# need to affect it) of the said Coats, upon b the neutral soQ of Turkuy, after the art of 1 Ilegiance made by him, will be regarded fi v tlie Government of tbe United States a % being not only a very painful violation u f those same rights of naturalization, but c Iso, in consequence of my intercession, as t want of respect and regard toward to- t ards tny Government, of which the ira- ^ ression will be removed with difficulty, would not leave your Excellency ignont of tlio preceding facts; but rather, f communicating them to your Excellenrelieve myself of all the responsibility hieh the arrest of Costa, and the consenenccs which may grow out of it, mav ave in the mind of my Government and mntrymcn. It wts on presenting this declaration to le consulate of the United States of Aineca at Smyrna, and to this Legation, that ae said Costa was furnished w ith a tczereh to come to Constantinople, and to eturn to Smyrna, whenco he was to start ;r New York. Since his arrival atSmvra he has resided in Turkey under the rotection of my Government, and it is a tleasure to me to he able to state that his ondnet has always been irreproachable, lis fidelity to his native land?the only rime of which he is accused? leads him o declare himself always an Hungarian, nd to state that he wishes even to meet lis death as such.

Mr. Editor :?When will it be my lot to rite a letter without having to recount some lgrant crime < r misdemeanor on the part of ly (alas must I call them so,) fellow citizens, frailty, thy name is worn in!" says the poet: 1 view of the outrageous proceedings of our letropolitan loafers and rowdies, we would ightly alter the quotation by substituting ion for woman. Sunday is the great hoyay of the lawless ruffians. Availing themelvcs of the various excursion bouts, which, i violation of pence, order and tho decalogue, re run in all directions outlus sabbath, they vcrspread the adjacent country, to the tcr" ' or of all honest folk, devastate fields, break r own fruit trees, and even use violence to tie owners, in ease resistance is offered.? ^ lonietiincs, when they can find no other vie- ^ ms, they turn upon each other ; if they j. ould only follow the cxnmplo "f the Kil- j. enny eats, the world would not miss them c lueh. A case of litis kind happened last unday. The little excursion boat, Tope ^ atlin, when on her return from up the riv- . , was the scene of a disgraceful riot. Some iarrel arose around the bar, which soon ^ tread to the rest of the company ; there was J ion a general melee, in the course of which veral persons were thrown overboard and nbbed. One of the rioters was quite seri- . isly Wounded with an ice pick. No deaths ive yet occurred, so tar as is known ; an fv vestigation, soon to be held by the author- ft es, will throw more light on the matter. ^ A few weeks since a boat was picked up e| the East River, containing several articles nl ' clothing covered with blood, from which, id other suspicious ciacumstances, it was Cl pposed there had been foul play. This sl as a bone for our enterprising policemen c| pick, and they have continued indefatiga- p y at it nntil they have brought it fuirly to ^ rlit. It seems that the boat was stolen from io New York side by some dock thieves, ? ho went over to Williamsburg, robbed a g sssel there of n trunk and some other arti- q es end were in the net of making off when 8 ley were discovered by the Captain. He v rdered thetn to stop, but disregarding him icy leaped into the boat and rowed off.? i. ortunntcly a revolver was at hand, and sev- T rnl shots were fired at them by the captain a b a parting salute. Two of the villains | rere seriously wounded, the third escaped i nhurt. The Captain, supposing that he ( tight have killed one of them, to avoid i rouble, weighed anchor withont acquaint* r tg the authorities of the occurrence. The oat was turned loose as noon as the thieves g aund themselves at a safe distance and g ence the mystery. They have all since t een arrested. There has been a great deal < f dock thieving lately. This has led to the j stsblishmcot of a River Police, which is just \ one into operation, and promises to put a * top to these proceedings. c Wc have had for somo time nmong us a estilute company of Chinese, consisting of t>out 43 performers. They allowed them, lives, lust Spring, to be pursuadcd by the roroUe of good wages, to make a tour from alifornia to the principal cities in the United tales. Their first attempt was mads in ew York ; hot it was soon found that their longrcl music and barbarous dances were ot appreciated. The person who hired tern, some irresponsibln,man of straw, made ff,and left the poor Tong Hook Tong comany in the lurch. Ignorant of our ways nd language, and consequently utterly unale to help themselves, they were soon biiged to pawn their theatrical wardrobe, ad siaoa axbana ing the prooaodt, have res plunged in the depthe of daafinKioo.? r lie charitable have tried to rake flnda Mf uicnt to transport them to their rice-fields nd chop-sticks. The money thus contribited, however, sufficed only to discharge ertain debts which they had incurred, and hey were left hs far from China as ever. As here seemed to be no other resource, it was letermined to hand theui over to the Comnissioncrs of Emigration, and apartments vere prepared at the Alms House for their eception. When, however,this information vas conveyed to the unfortunate sons of Confucius, they testified thcrr despair in the ixtravagnnt manner of their nation,and unanuiously declared that they would sooner die han live on the alms of barbarians. Two )f them gave a practical proof of the sincerty of their declarations, the one with a rope md the other with a razor : but fortunately lirough the timely exertions of the worth) lost of the Shakespeare, who was npprchcn live that his house would bo turned into nr iceldama, the nocks of both were saved ? The celestials were nt length pacified by th? iroiuise that another effort would be mnd< ;o get thorn home ; a subscription has beer jpened, to which, through the medium of th? lewspapers, the charitable are invited tc :ontribute. Push a Chinaman to the wail ind he will not long hesitate about "shufll ng off this mortal coil," and u making his juietus with a bare bodkin," or any othei :onvenient instrument. The intelligence received from day to dai jf tho unprecedented ravages of the yellow fever In New Orleans, has excited the liveli ;st sympathy nmong nil classes of our peo ?le. As a large number of the poorer rlasscs are among the sufferers, it has beer bought that woof New York ought to con ribute something for the relief of our sis :cr citv, with whom we entertain such intinntc relations. Several meetings have beer ield, and committees have been appointed t< lake the matter vigorously in hand. Alreadj $4,755 have been raised; and when the :oinmitte? of twenty, who have volunteered o call on the principal merchants in the Mew Orleans trade shall have reported, it it jrobablc a verv handsome amount will b? bund to have been collected. It is proper o say that Dr. Hawks has taken a prominent (art in this praiseworthy movement. The Atlantic sailed on Saturday Inst, carving with a large number of other passengers, Jar ies Buchanan, U. S. Minister to England, nnd Pierre Sonle, Minister to Spain. Phe latter gentleman on Friday evening, revived a hue serenade from the Cuban sympathizers in the city, to which he replisd vitli his usual eloquence. This will be nnither thorn in the side of the Spanish court. Jf our European Ministers, there are now tut two that have not received their instrucions; these arc ex-Governor Vroum, who [oes to Prussia, nnd ex-Govcrnor Seymour o the court of the Czar. The latter is now ti the city and expects soon to start. Jullien.tho celebrated musician, nnd manner of the world-renowned promenade conerts, has just arrived in the city. He was 0 have been serenaded (a favorite mode you rill perceive, of testifying our esteem,) last vening by Dedworth's Baud, but for sotu? eason it was deferred to a future occasion imagine the soaking rain which poured lown from 10 o'clock till after midnight, wai alitor too much tor their intgut. The Crystal Palace still continues s ccnre of attraction. Yesterday there were 1,384 admissions on single tickets. For the lenetit of persons from the country, whose united stay in the city would prevent them rum getting the full value of a season tick t, the Directors have just issued a new tickt for 85, which is good for two months.? 'hey have also published a notice to all exibitors who have not yet appeared, that nlcss they tit up the spaces allotted them y the 10th of this month, it will be forfeited fid assigned to others. Most of the arties, with the exception ot those in the paintig gallery and Machinery Arcade, are now 1 their places. There are some splendid Pianos in the ur, of both American and foreign inanuicture. One of these is remarkable for the with which it is played. The perform r, instead of going through a long training tid practising day after day, hna only to :arn how to turn a crunk and ho can disburse music which llerz himself could not urpass. What a great labor-saving uiahine will young ladies find this mechanical iano to be. No more torturing their little ngers to stretch an octave ; no moro overbading their precious brains with quavers, poggiaturas, and nil that stuff; a simple rind, and the music comes out ready made 'lose by stands a musical table, which, by imply being wound up, delight* the eat i ith its sweet melody ; its price is #260. There is another piano so gorgeously finshed that it must not be here passed by.? I he tone is superior, but it is the ease thai attracts attention cud admiration. ThU is n'aid with pearl, shells, and precious stone* n such a manner as to give it the finest ef eet. Cspt. Degroot, of the Prescott House s said to have offered $2000 for this instrunent. An object which from association attrarU general interest, is a pair of stockings, deeribedin the card attached to them as "knited by Mrs. Begg, of Ayr, Scotland, (sistei >f Robert Horns.) at the age of eighty.twc rears, snd contributed by M.

Communication. : For the Ledger. A Word of Consolation. Clihton's Drive, Aug. 8th, 1808. Mr. Editor,?Allow me through your columns, to speak a word of consolation to a friend whose feelings are wounded by a 1 few remarks which I made about his garden cotton blossom. Dear Capt. J. S. P., I am sorry to see that you are vexed with me for makings few remarks about your early cotton blossom. 1 assure you that I did not intend to wound the feelings of nny person ; I would bo far from woundinir a man's feelincrs because he is poor; I am poor myself and know too well the feelings of a poor man to treat one of that class with contempt. My object was to cause others as well as yourself to gunrd against such puffing whilst the prospects of crops wore such a gloomy appearance as it certainly would have a tendency to misrepresent the crops of this District, but If you had have confessed (as you now do) that the early blootns was the effect of dry weather nnd grass ; it could not have caused any false impression abroad, and consequently your feelingi&Skved from the wound which it appears I hato inflicted upon them. It does not necessarily follow that crops are inferior bccnuse they bloom early, but you seem to intimate that any person might have known that your cotton was small and grassy because It bloomed early. At the time of your blossom puffing, I suppose your prospect for a cotton crop was bad, and you thought you would puff a little anyhow, as it mattered but little to you how the market was effected, but now your crop has improved you tear your puff might effect you in s different way from what you first expected, consequently. yon would like to take it back, but as news goes by lightning's speed, you find th"t you cannot do this, but you will send on another dispatch to balance 1 it off" by saying those early blossom* which 1 had on tho 16th of June was the effect of dry weather nnd grass. Well send it on Capt. it may have the desired effect, but if cotton does full we will all know who to , blame. You talk about monarchy nnd all this; you must think that I am not in s free , country as others can make calculations of what may be the extent of the crop whilst , it is growing, but 1 must wait until the crop is gathered, or until the end of the year 1853 or beginning of 54, perhaps you are not aware that any calculations are ever made until the crop is gathered, and I am about to start something now, to make calculations 'whilst tho crop is growing; if this is your opinion, I would advise you to read for farther liiformn'ioD, come over nnd I will loan , y.-u my spec's. I was not so much astonished to see your , name in print, indeed, I waa pleased, for I knew you would be delighted with it your self; but I was surprised and had to put on my spec's before 1 could be convinced that the man that was now puffing about a cotton [ blossom in hia garden, was the same man , that made perhaps nearly a balo of cotton to the acre last year and said nothing about it. Captain do tell our friend who w rote your i piece for you to put out his head that I amy hike a peep at him through those spec's of which he sjwnka so eloquently. I would be | glad he would give rue a little information I on the culture of cotton, but if his experi- ' ence does not extend farther than the garden ' cotton he need not mind giving any infor. | illation as that ia not the kind I plant, he < appears to know so much about lightning I speed he must be the fellow that I saw a I few years ago near a telegraph office, he rode ' up to one of posts, hitched hia horse to it and looked et the wires in aiuozemont, a bystander asked him if he had ever heard of i the great mngnctic telegraph, he said he had and asked if that was it, the b)stander told Iiiui it w as and if he did not mind his horse would be in Charleston in leas than a min. ut?. That horse was moved in short order, this must be the same innn. Tell him when he writes again to fix his piece so that I can understsud it. When 1 first saw your piece in the last I,cdger 1 thought you had preached my funeral and hud it published, but this cannot be the case ) as you did not pray for mo; then I thought it wns your will, but this cannot be the caoe , hh you owl noi tiequejilh anything to me. If it isn word of conaolmion you want, I freely give it to you, or if you want my apec'a you can have them alao. Yours, Respectfully, J. R. H. TUX LtOCU. Thk first thing to be considered by the wcMNffol agricnltnriat is the nature and constituents of the soil from which he wishes to produce his crops. The next thing he should consider is, what kind of culture, and what particular manures will yield him the most abundant crops, for a. succession of yours. 1 hold lbs cut down and wear out policy of the present age, is ths most deleterious, sod least economical, (to asy nothing of patriotism,) that could be adopted, It ie true that this policy if, poliey it rosy be called may for the time being, put s few more dimes in the pockets of the planter, but this doss not add anything to ths ganeral wsalth of the Htata for what Ota wlantor train* is f dollar*, the aUU ioaee in the deterioration [ of it* land*. If this syetem ahooid be eon* j tiuued a few yaara loafer. South Caroline will become a land of desolation and oothrifI tineaa. I could name many planters in this r District, who are eooaidered among, tne i moat thrifty of our planters, who have, in the last ten or fifteen years, eW down and ? and worn out more land than ttey are ahls l to cultivate any one year. They haseasouI m slated negroes and lands, het whether they have added anything to the wealth of the t State, la vary doubtful; for it la a sonteatad > point, whethas aimply an aaeemelstion afae. I greea adda auy thing to State wealth. They i are only valuable ad fbr ns they are able to I make the soil prodesthre; bet if the aofl Is worn out, they sse s drag, not only to the Wear, W the SUU. Wenld net patriotism * f . r Biggest the policy of improving our lands, eo that the pi>ntor* negroes can produce more an off a leas number of acres ? toen we would he have a greater producing population, and tit consequently, (if our lands are much im- fo proved,) a larger quantity of produce for ex- an portation, which necessarily increases the ag- tic ricultural and commercial wealth of the State.

"" ^? ? | The Costa Diffloulty. th The attention of our readers is invited to ^ the correspondence to he found in another m column, between Mr. Brown, American " Charge d'dflairea, at Constantinople, and Mr. Brack, Austrian Envoy at the same place, In " reffierence to the arrest of Martin Costa, a e|, Hungarian. jc< It is to be regretted, for the sake of hn* 'n manity,that Austria's appetite for blood is not yet eatlefied. The earth has drank doep of it already, but still the unhappy Hungarians ?% are hanted down, for further butcheries. In the correspondence, there seems to he a misunderstanding of facte; Mr. Brown claims Costa as an American citiien, while ^ Mr. Brock says he is a Hungarian, and has never ceased to be a subject of Austria. The ** truth of Mr. Brock's statements is evidenced by rumors of some declarations mads by X Costa, to the effect that "he was a Hungari- ol an and would live and die one.n Mr.Brown'a *l statement is proven by certified copies of || Costa's declarations of intention to become a aj citlxeu of the United States, and the fact er that Coeta, notwithstanding what ha is re- M ported to have eaid, urgee his right to Amer. ic&n protection. ** In mom quarter*,the course of Capt.

Without doubt i was; and if so, it would aassa, b? is onled to the protection of our government, 18 r it cannot with a good face claim allegb ^ ice only, where it grants, of right, protecm. j Some of our exchanges, are of opinion K is affair may have an nnhappy influence ca ton the Russian and Turkish question ; and b< is probable it may. The Turks at Smyri were well pleased with the interference of t0 ipt. Ingraham in behalf of Costa, and in ^ e excess of their joy, committed some out- r ges upon the Austrian*. Austria may take ij.' nb'rage at this, and warmly second the & ovementa of Russia against Turkey. If tj i, a general European war, will, in all prob- i |,, ility, be the result. What part the Uni- |jj d States, in the event ef such a war, shall p idertake to perform, will be a question for it e wise heads at Washingtou. The course tinted out by the fathers of the Republic, U r think the proper one?a strict neutrality. There is but one state of facts that we re rc n now think of, that can justify the United (| ates in interfering in European affairs.? ^ hat would be in case of a combination of n| e despotisms of Continental Europe, to deroy constitutional liberty-a thing which, a ai ort time since was apprehended. In such g< war, the post of duty for these States, ? ould be by the side of England, with her sink or swim. A lore of liberty, as well tr a sense of self preservation, would impel " em to adopt thin course. England is the eak water to Enronean dennotiam airninat hich its waves roll,to be broken end hurl- vj I back, unfclt by us.
