This is a subject which has been in a great =awe a ghast' by the host of travellers who have visited Russia.

Id this way it is that error descends, and at the same tate accumulates; w hil e speculative writers, whose business it is to classify and arrange the materials thus supplied, and to endeavour to detetmine the principle which connects them, are necessarily betrayed into the greatest errors, and become in strumental in propegating complete delusion, matters ea which it is utterly impossible to hem a correct in the absence of eyebath and well-ascertained facts. But on this, as en meet other subjects, it is of course much easier apart out a defect than to supply it • nor in the present case do we nabs any such pretension. A 104 residence and a praetidd or experboontal eapsaintarbee with the operative goal ties of the institutions of a canny, together with a talent both for sheaving and goarralleing. are indispensable to enable any sae to convey solid and useful inforniadoo, or to give us an sc curate notion of the relative amount et good or of evil resulting from their operatics. Our object is to lay before our readers a little narrative whisk we lately derived from a highly respect able aura, and which appears to us calculated to throw a strong light on the administration of justice in a country to which the attention of all norepe is at present so powerfully directed.— We may premise, however, that the salary of a Judge in the So prano Courts of Ruda does not exceed two hundred pounds sta ling per annum • a sum which, even in that country, is utterly in adequate to enable the holder of .each * ace to maintain that rata and station in society which be is expected to support. The cense. =may he easily fervors. Judges are incorruptible only where s e re independent ; and the converse of the proposition also holds good; for where the niggard and mischievous parslmcny of the Government withholds the means necessary for supporting their dignity in a becoming manner, and where the usages of society nevertheless exact that such functionaries shall move in a certain r=l,l and live ie a certain style of expense, the temptation this in their way, or, perhaps, It would be more corr e ct to say the necessity thus imp osed upon them, is have recourse to under hand expedients for improving their incomes, is completely irri shale. Accordingly, it appears that in Aussie bribery is rediaced to a system ; that justice has bog been a regular article of tone ; and that, like any other article in the mullet, it haniformly sold to the highest bidder. This at least Is the coodusion to be deduced from the following Yale upon the accuracy and authenticity of which car readers may dently rely : An Anglo-Radio merchant, of the very highest re pectability. happened, some years ago, to have emit with the Crown. in which he was a claimant lee Wagtails:scion under some article of provi sion ht a Treaty. The grands of his claim were ondhgettably good. and his case altogether as strong, that neither this landsman Lm self, nor any of his countrymen wheal he cemehsd. siesseloinsd the least doubt et his ultimate To hie great eurpries, how. ever. It was decided against bins; and, upon further inquiry. be be gan to discover that there were other circomemesse which deter mined the issue of a ease la Ruda besides its aloha, nil that the justice and equity of a claim, together with an unshelkapable tide es the part of the clainuust, were among the lest hemp open which a prudent man would rely for memo in the Tribemob of that country. In a word, be found oat that be had been pity of an unpardonable ended= in neglecting Is fee de Judge. For tunately, however the cull was not irremediable. An appeal lay to a Court of Review in the last resort ; and as the decision pronounced in the Court below would have been ruinous if al lowed to become Anal, an appeal was brought accordingly. It is from this point that the Interest of our little narrative com mences. It was necessary to reach the presiding Judge in the Court of last resort ; but bow was this to be accomplished ? A careful and prudent reannoissaace revealed the proper mode of proceeding, and *bowed not only bow the great representative of Thema might be reached, but also bow his eyes could be ef fectually opened so as to see the whole circumstances and bearing of the case in their proper light. In a word, the suitor, or rather the appellant, found that it was necessary to bribe his way up to the great oracle of justice himself. through all the lower gradations of secretaries and other functionaries ; that at each step of his pro gram' be would be instructed bow he should proceed at the next, and that with a heavy purse and an open hand he could not possibly fail to succeed in obtaining a reversal of the judgment. With this information he accordingly entered upon his course of corruption, and found that he had not been deceived as to the personages with whom be had to deal. When he bad reached the last stage but one, be received most minute and detailed instructions, as to the mode in which be was to proceed in treating with the bead of the Court of Review for a re. venal of the decree pronounced against him ; and, among other things, be was told that the proper moment to make the tender of the sets/was when that learned personage shut the door of his apart ment, after learning the nature and object of the visit paid him by the appellant. Thus tutoted and instructed, our friend accordingly waited upon this upright Judge, and, after some interlocutory and triv.lous remarks, broached the subject by mentioning the case in which be was concerned, stating the judgment which had been pronounced, and hinting that a reversal of the decree would not fail to produce a strong expression of his gratitude. The Dis penser of Justice in the last resort, however, remained unmoved, sad affected not to understand his visitor, mere gratitude being a sort of payment for which be bad evidently no relish. In order, therefore. to prevent ambiguity, and bring matters a little closer, the appellant then hinted that the expression of his gratitude would be substaxiial, laying strong emphasis on the last word, and at the sane time suiting the action to the word. This had the desired effect—the stern features of justice relaxed—a new light overshadowed the countenance of her representative—he moved slowly towards the door which bad been left open er ceessedee, and having cautiously shut at, again approached Ws visitant. The latter, who had his cue, now spoke out; explaining in a most distinct and intelligent manner what be meant by gratitude, and plumply naming a good round sum. The Judge huckstered a little, anxious to raise his price to the utmost; sad having so far succeeded, a regular bargain was concluded. and the money paid down ea the nail. " May I new upon you (said the briber to the bribed) for a reversal o f this " Most certainly," replied the latter; and he kept his word. The judg ment was reversed, the merchant got his money, and, upon the whole, was not dissatisfied with his bargain. Indeed we have beard him remark. joculatly, in reference to this transaction, that be was not sure whether the Russian mode of proceeding was not, after all. the best ; since it was upon the whole cheaper to fee the Judge once, as in Russia, than to fee Counsel twenty. thirty, or forty times, as In Ragland or Scotland; while, over and above, the litigant is always are In the former country to have value for his money, in the shape of $ judgment, pronounced in terms of the contract entered into with the Judge. This little narrative, for the substantial accuracy of which we can vouch (at least it there be any error. it lays In oar mode et telling the story), Is more instructive than twenty disquisi tions in reference to the way in which justice la administered, or we shield rather say soW, in Russia. For if corruption so gross and unblushing prevails in the very highest Tribunal, and it the presiding Judge can thus barter and traffic in his own do. chinas, it is easy to conjecture how matters are managed in the inferior judicatoties, which are necessarily filled with persons of a lower grade. and who, being still more needy sod dependent, must for that very reason be. if possible, still more corrupt.— Add to this, that the Russian character is deeply debased and degraded ; that It is a compound of the worst vices of barba rism and ; and that a long period moat still elapse ha fore the remains of the former are eradicated, and the latter ena bled to exert a benign and improving influence on the feelings, ha • Goatees= just returned from Italy has favoured us with a aerates of a State Paper recently published at Rome.

The water has been o►served for many years to be unm orally troubled, and to emit an extraordinary grandly of air. No experiment was, however, made until last Monday week, when, by the direction of Mr. Aram Book, Are was applied to the sur face of the water, and the result was an immediate combustion resembling burning alcohol. We have witnessed several experi ments since, which are sullicient to satisfy us that, with proper apparatus, a quantity of gas might be collected to answer eaten likely useful purposes in lighting the village. There are said to be many similar fountains in this vicinity, but we know of no other experiments to prove their inflammability. CHARLESTON. JOLT 23. An unfortunate occurrence took place as Tuesday last at the Mato Arsenal, by which one man was killed and another wounded. The individual who perpetrated tire ethos*, and who, as we under. stand, was in a state of intoxication at the time, bad been guilty of some merely conduct amongst the workmen employed there ; and having been threatened with confinement by the person in charge oldie workmen, he deliberately loaded his musket for the purpose of resistance. As two men approached to secure him , be discharged his piece, shooting one of them through the abdomen, who lame. diately expired, and wounding the other in the hand. The name of the offender, we learn, is Roberts and that of the individual killed is Barry. The wounded man, it is thought, will probably recover. As Mr. Daniel Oaks and his son were in a field at work a few days. ago, in Stamford, Vt. they descried a liege bear ; the son went home tor his rile, shot the animal, and he fell. The father seized a club, and ran to dispatch him ; but Bruin bad no idea et being knocked on the bead like a deg ; be sprang up, raised himself on his hind feet. and stood on the defensive.
