THE RUSSLIV CILIMICTER. pr. 14811, in his work on Russia, has given • number' of ins:laces of the habitual bands and dishonesty of the lttwsiati people. An amusing case of solemn trickery is of the following tenor:- 0 Ifutionrs ail immunities; are now given, it seems, in Ihissia--- not only fur military services, or in return for! prescuts wade to the crown, but for the institution of! public schools and charities ; and a certain General N. bting desirous of the riblxm of Vladimir, bethought him self ufebtaining it by the erection of a great ho.pital upon' his estate. l'ur this purpose he bad a showy edifice run up of this hoards and basket work, nod plastered over with clay, but nsuilily painter) ou the outside, and sue— mounted with a light lath dome, coloured green, mal crowned with a gilt ball. In the iimi.le coarse bedsteads were arranged in some of the wards, and hogs of hay far beefs in edicts; and so things were got in order for the in spection of Graeral Arakteheef, who was to repert to the Emperor on the amount of Gensial N.'s contributions to the public comfort. '• !-early in the morning of the day appointed for General Aral:tat:era arrival (says Dr. I.yall) above a dozen of people, men sod women, were employed in washing, and cleaning, awl arron;ing the hospital; the kitchtm--tove was lighted, and the kitchen itself stored with good pro. visions under the rare of an excellent cook. 'fhe beds were made up ; and black boards were placed agait.st the walls over the heads of the beels, upon which were written with chalk, the names and age of the patients, the technical and the Russian appellations of their diseases, the date of their admission, and the diet allowed them, as is always the case in the public hospitals in Russia. All was thus arrangssl; but there were no sick, except three or four in valids in the village. In the transforming empire of Russia, lioweva, this was of no consequence. The women who had washed the hospital, and a number of peasants, musks an d f e males, who were ordered to repait to it, in oh edien= to their lord's command, disrobed and washed Cc:loss:leas, put on the dressis provided fur patients, gut into bell, and feigned sickness. - - - - • , After an elegant dinner, the host conducted t/Lmerai Araktebeef, and a 'mintier of other visitors to the hospital,' where they were treeing, by a clerk in the lobby, with the report-books in his hand. which he showed to his Excel leacy. do physician being then in the neighbourhod, tl: • village upottle,•ary assumed his name and oflice, and, as the party paced the wards, gave all necessary explans tions respecting the diseases of tile patients. His assistant' then brought in a basket full of medicines, vials, powders. ointments, plasters, whicii he distributed to ach, add ing, according to the circumstances of the case, This is a mixture for thy fever,—those herbs are for thy cottAli,' &c. &e. A plateful of excellent soup. with a piece of beef is it, a quantity of kasha and butter, pieces of black and white bread, and a bottle of kvass were now presented to tleCtilii" that t kneral A rak tcliect might be able tojudge ride: manner in which the sick were fed. lie was highly pleased. it is said, with the institution, and took his depar ture. He had not been gone above a few minutes, when all the patient-actors started from their beds, threw Or ' their rob's, and, being highly amused, lam.diud heartily, and then bent their way home,—wishing for a repetition of the farce, as they had had an excellent day's provisions. And so the hospital was left dreary and void. " in a conversation with a general who haul been nearly forty years in the service of Russia, and had been tuts:toned in almost every government of the empire, I expressed my autonishment of the above &fair ; to which he replied, ' It is no surprise to me: I have seen such things many tisacs in my " The importations int) Buenas Ayres from Great Britain, 1 , for the ltrs:l, amounted to 1,300,000'.

Cita cmsroati, St. rr. 10.—Since Mond ty the rain has fallen very generally throughout the comities of Norfolk, ti.tff'olk, and Essex. In the two former comities, it will materially benefit the finest and largest breadth of turnips ever beheld. and for which some alight alarm hod pre vailed. The wheat is mostly got in in both counties; but the barley, a cop very heavy upon the ground, is lying upon time swarth in a precarious state, not one-third hiving been carted. In this county, the small wheats have been harvested in the beat condition : a small portion, hawever, of the latter. and the rivets, are still abroad, as well as melt swarth corn ; all of' which, but for the return of favourable weather in a few days, will be in great 'beg T of spearing.

His Grace the Duke of Buckingham arrived on iVetl nearby (Ist inst.) at Greenock, in his yacht, accompar 4 ed by his Majesty's revenue cruis. r Success, Lieutenant Wil -1 liam Augustus Thomson, Commander. His Grace was pleased to confer the honour on Lieutenant Thomson, of accompanying, in the Succ,ss, his Lordship, during ha excursion in the Western Islands and Highland.. The! Success has at different times bad the preference conferred ; by his Grace, of leading through some of the moot in- 'mate sounds of the Western Islands. The weather, during most part of his Grace's excursion, has born re markably fine. lt is said that his Lordship will continue to hollow the IVestern Islands in his yacht every summer, until he has made the complete survey of this islands. His Lte'dship's most extensive and valua'.le collection of minerals has received an increase of several fine specitnens, colkitta by Professors Bulkcley and Cooper, these scien tific gentlemen bein4 of his Lordship's suite. Ilia Lordship, during his pre sent tour, has been at Inverary, Campheltim, Arran. Bute, Mull, Skye, and Long Island. On indwell in Dunvegan Loch, his Grace was saluted by the guns of Dunvegan Castle, the residence of . .1P Lend ut M`Leed, chieftain of the clan. 'a he salute was returned from his Lvdship's yacht, and the Success. The chief tain was not on the spot, being on a shooting excursion 13 Locltaber, but his absenee was fully compensated by the polite attention and exert7ons of his lady to the illustrious I and noble visitor and his suite. An elegant thjenne was riven d by Mrs. M•Lcoll, in Dunvegan Castle, which, after viewing the chieftain's collection of medals, minerals, ard library, was partaken of by his Grace, Sir George Nl:gellt, I Lady Nugent, and Miss Nugent, Captain Wilcox, It. N. Dr. Lailbroke, his Grace's Physician, nofessors Bulkeley and Cooper. Lieutenant Thomson, Commander of the Sneer's, and Mr. Carrington. In the evening his Gsace had a tea party, and dancing on board his Lordsh:p's i . yacht. On anchoring off Greenock, his Grace was saluted by the guns of the Success; after which three cheers were given by the crew from the yards and rigging. His Lord ship honoured Lieutenant Thountt o's salute with one from !the yacht; after which, the crew gave three cheers. On j his (:race's quitting the yacht (to proceed on his journey I to England) and as soon as his Lordship, with Sir George, Lads and Alias Nugent, were in the trim, tho crews of the , yaelit. anti the Success, manned the yards and riming, and gave three cheers. His Lordship most condescendingly took off his hat, and retunicd the cheers. His Grace hell a letter to Lieut. Thomson, which, on parting, was opened by him, and cootained a draft for twenty guineas, to be divided by Lieut. Thomson an:ougst the crew of his cutter. Ilk Majesty's cutter Sueccas, Lieut. Thomson, Com mander, after accompati,ing his I;race the Duke of Buck ingham, on his tour through the IVestern Islands, sailed on Wednesday from tircrilock, for Belfast. —Et/orb:fret i (Ow? err. We have heard that the Rev. W. S.

So exasperated, indeed, were the rabble against the Rev. t lentleman, that he was, for lowa' days. indebted to the police for protec tion front personal violence. We trust, for the honour of human nature, that th.se statenteuta arc exaggerated.— Eernitn: Parr. On Friday last an order from Government was received at the Comity Gaol, for th • transmission of the Rev. John Carroll to the Rid iiiii m I Lumeic Asylum, near Dublin ; and on Saturday morning he accordingly proceeded thither in charge of the gaoler. A most respectable lady, who had taken a seat in the day-coach that morning, objected, in the strongest terms, to sitting in the company of the Rev. Gentlernan ; ott which Mr. Carroll politely apologia:II for the uneasiness he bad occasioned her, and expressed his' willingness to travel outride. He and his keeper then I took their scats on the top.— Ire.rfred Herald. CAUTION TO HACYNEY-COACOMEN.—It Was yesterday decided before the Commissioners, that no hackney-coach man. crcu if hired, has a ught to place his coach before the door of any person not having hired such coach, and that he is liable to a penalty for not removing when de sired so to do. The decision WAS given in cons,quence of a gentleman in the neighbourhood of the English Opera- House hat flag summoned the coach, No. 7;3, and several others, for drawing off the stand during the performamtes at that Theatre, and placing th ir coaches before his door. The gentleman very kindly requested the penalty might be remitted on this occaion, as they used no uncivil lan guage ; and they were suffered to depart on promisinz not to offend again. A Fri iv:iv o , viriro.—The .en of a man has bee lately exhibited which was entirely nssith.d. Thi s man lived to be sixty years old, and then died of a fall. lie was remarkably gay, though his spleen was entirely ossified; tads would seem to contradict the co 1111 l ion received opinion, that the spleen was necessary to purify the blood, and in that seese contrihutes to render people gay. it weighed an mines and a half.—Mcdirid Adviser. TN, GOOSE AND tie COC K.—A goose is very generally accounted an exceedinr.dy stupid creature, and the proverbial expression, " as stupid ns a goose," is frequently us:xl to &note the eath•mc of stupidity. That every goose is not extremely stupid, however, the following occurrence, which lately took place on a farm at the head of this country, will testify. A haughty dunghill cock took a particular antipathy to a tine goose, the guardian Of a nu merous brood, and, accordingly, wherever and whenever they met, the cock immediately act upon his antagonist.— The goose, who had little ehtnice with the nimble and sharp heels of his oppiment, aid who had accordingly suf fered severely in various rcncontres, got so exmiperated against his assailant, that one day, during a sevt re cotnhat, be grasceil the neck of his foe with his bill, and dragging him along by main force, he plunged him into an adjoining pond, keeping his head, in spite of every e ff ort, under water, and where dr' cock would have hem drowned, had not a servant, who had witnessed the proceeding, rescued the humbled foe. From that day forward the goose re ceived no further trouble from Ida eimmy.—lausguw Currier. _ CURIOUS CArSE or Virmt.—ln loth, some soldiers of Modena ran away with a bucket from a public well, be longing to the state of liololo.a. This bucket might be worth a shilling; but it produced a quarrel which was worked up into a long and bloody war. Henry, the King of Sardinia, son of the Emperor 11-nry the Se mud, assisted the Modenese to keep possession of the bucket, and he was made !Wanner in one of the battles. llis father, the, l'mperor, offered a chain of gold that would encircle Bo logna, which is seven miles in compaw for his son's ransom, but in vain. After 2.2 years of imprisonment, his father being dead, lie pined away and died. This fatal bucket is still exhibited in the tower of the Cathedral or Moslems, inclosed in an iron csge. The offer of the gcl l chain seems a prodigious bribe, but there are many artists in Londno, who could make a very few ounces of gold answer the pur pose ; as a single grain can be hammered until it is the thirty-thousandth part of a line in thickness, and will cover SO square inches ; and each square inch may be di vided into two hundred strirs, reaching more than one eighth ;tart of a mile. The liolognese were probably aware of the ductility of this metal, and were not to be duped into such a bargain. A Blll , TC—The capriciousness of a Ravage disposition was strikingly exemplifies' in a Cast` which came before the Police Court on Monday. A young tradesman was ac cused of creating a disturbance upon the High-street under the following circumstauces. lie had brought a huge hull dog on to the stn et, which was strongly attached to him, by a string fastened round its neck ; and this strangeexhibitioo having collected a crowd, the fellow gave the animal rope enough whenever he wished it to seiz.• hold of • person.— One voung lad was s,ized and thrown down by the dog, and hail his thigh severely bit by it. At length, no one dared to approach it, until some policemen arrived ; and as they advanced towards the fellow to take him into custody, the slog sprung upon sae of them, awl lacerated his thigh in a very 5:7/0115 manner, and only loosened its grip after it had been severely beaten with batons. The fellow him self offered every resistance is bid 'power to the officers, who succeeded with great difficulty in dragging him to the Police Office. No ease of equal barbarity has occurred since that of the ruffian who was convicted of running a knife into the eye of the lionassus, when exhibited ripen the Mound.

"Be not astonished at that," my Lords. "I have painted them as tbey arc in Heaven, blushing with shame at seeing the Church so badly gorcrned." CONVENIENT Blurt r.—The inhabitants cf Ttneviire were divided into three classes, Noblemen Gentlemen, and Peasants. They believed that God created mankind of earth and water ; and that the NaMer were created first, ns many women as men, to whom God gave cattle and every thing necessary for their subsistence; hut that the number , appearing two small, he afterwards created more, whom he also endowed, but with a more sparing hand. The num ber being still insuflicient, he still more; butte the latter he gave nothing; and w they asked him for flocks' of sheep rod goats, he bade thorn go and serve the others, who would give them austenane We see, by this curious doctrine of creation, that even the peasants were intended to have a subsistence, and that labour was to be considered as a full equivalent ter it. Curse TNATELLING.—Captain Jelin %Mai Coch rane, in the preface to his work lately published, entitled Norm/ire Peeb ria n Journey through Russia and Siberian 'unary, Ave. states that the expenses of his journey from Moscow to Irkutsk, which, by the routio he went was 6,000 miles, "certainly fell short of a guinea." WATERTON!), SEPT 4. Ott Tuesday night, or Wed nesday morning, two tiwelling-horses and a barmbelonging to respectable Meiners, named Simon Power and John Power, at Aslitown, about two mil a beyond Kihnactho mas, part of the estate of Colonel Trench, were maliciously set on fire and entirely consumed. Another barn and an out-house, adjoining one of the dwellings, would also have been destroyed but for the exertions of the inhabitants, who, in miler to preserve them from the flames, were obliged to iworr milk and cream (for want of water) on the roots. Much of the furniture was destroyed. and a great deal of what was preserved was greatly injured in the hurry and confusion of removal. The supposed motive of the miscreants,who committi d this outrage is resentment against the Powers for having lately taken some ground contiguous to their own farm. A serious accident nearly happened last we. k to the Earl and Countess of Warwick and another holy, who were sailing at Mudiford.

Fitiling nothing done, and not re ' ceiving any ithswer (for, in fact, t:.crc was no one with the team), Phillips endeavoured to pass : but at that mo ment the waggon horses turned round upon those he was driving, and the coach at the same time coming in contact with a post, Phillips was thrown from his box among the horses' feet ; one of the coach wheels went over his chest, and hi% right arm, which at the instant lay across it, was broken in two places.
