We learn by the Australasian, from New York on the 14th, that affairs at Baltimore remain quiet, although the difficulty respecting the rival claims of the old and new police commissioners is as yet un settled. Judge BARTOL supports the Governor of Maryland in his removal of the Radical officials' and . the new commissioners, apparently emboldened by this, have made fresh demands for the surrender of the police stations. To these demands the old commissioners have as yet made no reply, leaving it uncertain whether they mean to continue the struggle or no. It is to be hoped that some definite understanding may be shortly come to, for the present condition of the matter is not calculated to maintain social order or preserve repect for authority. The functions and powers of the State Governors must be clearly recognised and understood if their office is to be anything more than a name, and their authority in the matter of appointments requires more especially to be clearly defined, because in American politics it is an under stood thing that both Rides favour their own parti zans arid supporter s in public offices, too often with out regard to any other con,ideration of fitness or character. The Americans are likely to have their attention diverted from their own affairs by the events passing in Mexico, and probably the PRESIDENT may be glad to encourage them to turn their minds away from home. They are fond of excitement, and soon grow impatient of the ordinary round of political life. Mr. JOHNSON may therefore be very willing to give them a sensation scene in Mexico in stead of a catastrophe at Washington. Little is said about MAXIMILIAN'S abdication, though it is generally believed in ; but there is a fresh difficulty arising between the rival claimants THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.— Sole Lessee and Manager, Mr. F.

We hear no more of American political arrange ments, and the important, though indefinite news which the telegraph gave - us a few days ago re specting a compromise between Mr. JOUNSON and and the Congress is neither confirmed nor contra dicted by anything in this mail. We may hope, therefore, until we hear to the contrary, that it will prove to have had some foundation in fact. We are not surprised to find that Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, in his capacity as head of the Admi ralty, has written to Mr. BUXTON, M.P., in refer ence to the correspondence which that gentleman recently published as having passed between him self and Lieutenant BRAND. No educated English man of whatever party can have read the letters bearing the name of Lieutenant BRAND without pain and mortification. They are properly de signated by Sir Joint PAKINGTON as " shameful letters," but their outrageous character induces us to share in the hope, which we are glad to find Sir JOIIN PAKINGTON expressing, that Mr. BUXTON has been imposed upon by some un scrupulous person. We are sure that Mr. BUXTON himself will be heartily glad should this prove to be the case, and so disgraceful a reproaeh be removed from a service with whom the terms officer and gentlemen are held to be synonymous. The letters in question are so entirely inconsistent with the language of a man, however intemperate or pas sionate, who is accustomed to the manners of ordi nary society, irrespective of any question of prin ciple or good feeling, that it is difficult to believe that Lieutenant BRAND could actually have penned them. It is certainly possible that some dishonourable person may have contrived a hoax for the sake of damaging Mr. EYRE, and it will be only fair to a man who has been appointed a lieu tenant in MAI. Navy to suspend our opinion until the letters are either confirmed or contradicted. Supposing that Lieutenant BRAND is unable to disavow them, he will be, says Sir J. PAKINGTON, immediately superseded, and with the justice of this decision no one can quarrel. Sir J. PAK INGTON denies that the present Administration had anything to do with Lieutenant BRAND'S promotion, and says he has some reason to complain of Mr. BUXTON'S having published such a state ment without inquiry. We should hope, however, that it may prove that Lieut. BRAND'S appointment was not a subject of reproach to either Govern- ment, which it certainly would be had he penned these letters. We learn from Pesth that at a Conference of members of the Hungarian Diet, which was held at the residence of M. DEAK to discuss the course to be pursued in reference to the Royal Rescript, M. DEAK made a speech which seemed more favourable to the cause of unity than those he generally de livers. lie said that the " Rescript" afforded them far greater grounds for satisfaction and cause for hope than had before existed for them. He moved an address to the KING, which prayed that the laws. of 1848 might be re-established, and declaring also that the Diet would not fail to take into consideration the wishes expressed by the KING. The address in question is also to assert that the Committee on Common Affairs is to con tinue its labours, and lay the result before the ouse. This motion of M. DEAKE'S was agreed to by those who were present. However those of the Left held a meeting at their club, at which they determined not take part in the delibera tions of the Committee on Common Affairs until a Hungarian Ministry should be con stituted. This is a most foolish and unwise de cision on their part, but we should think that M. DEAR'S party is most likely to be in the ascendant, and we hope that it may prove so, for no possible good can be gained by altercation, while very posi tive harm will arise from confusion of interests prevailing. The best chance both for Austria and Hungary will be found din both sides meeti n g i n a friendly spirit, and doing their utmost to facilitate the progress of business. It is at any rate fortunate that one of so much influence and authority as M. PEAK should have decided to act with such wisdom and perspicacity, and it is not out of the bounds of probability that if he and his friends keep steadill, to the course they have planned f or th emselves that their opponents may in th e en d modify their acts, or at all events not carry out their present foolish intentions to the uttermost. The Rescript appears to be, on the whole, a very wise production, and to hold out promises far more advantageous to the Hungarians than any that have hitherto been met with. For many reasons we trust, therefore, that the propositions put forth by the Emperor FRANCIS JosEPH may be readily acceded to, and that a better understanding may be come to on all sides. It is only by this means that we can hope for any real improvement to take place in the con dition of Hungary, and for Austria to gain strength and confidence from her relations with tha kingdom. As for the Berlin Government, they aregoingon in their persistent course and are gradually undermining all the old-established forms and usages in those States which have just been annexed. The late Hanoverian army has been the last thing meddled with, and we doubt not that' in a short time it will be so remodelled that no one will know it. A Ca binet order has been issued, which calls upon the officers of the army to forward to Government their claims for pensions and appointments ; and, in accordance with this order, the officers are told that they should address themselves to the ICING for a rcqease from their oath of allegiance. As a bait to secure the service of others it is announced will lt havethosethwe prhoeonstper the Prussi an serv i ce at once ea. of immediate appointment. Those who neither apply for a dissolution of their oath of allegiance nor enter the service" of Prussia • for the Presidency of the Mexican Republic. It will be remembered that General SIIERIDAN, in his recent despatch, declared that JUAREZ was the only recognised head of the Mexicans, and that all other leaders must be checked in their attempts to orga nise troops or form parties. This threat has been acted upon, for the Federal authorities have arrested ORTEGA and his suite on their arrival at Brazo de Santiago. ORTEGA has issued a protest, as Presi dent of the Mexican Republic, attributing to the Federal Government indirect inter ference with Mexican local affairs, and protesting against any acts of the United States tending to force the JUAREZ Govern ment upon Mexico. That unfortunate country seems fated to be in a condition of anarchy and con fusion, and it is very evident that the abandonment of the Empire and the establishment of a Republic, however gratifying to the national prejndjces of the Americans, will not suffice to restore tranquillity to Mexico itself. The number of Presidents, actual and nominal, now wandering about the continent of North America is not a little curious. We have the de facto President of the United States, ANDREW JOELNSON ; the ex-President of the Confederacy, JEFFERSON DAVIS ; the two would-be Presidents of the Mexican Republic, JUAREZ and ORTEGA ; and, finally, a goodly com pany of illustrious Fenians, who, despite their patriotic and disinterested objects, are each anxious to wear the thorny dignity of President of the Irish Republic. Miss E Sti N;fl,-,LON ON, MONDAY EVEN I NG, NOV EA" 11,1Z-;;,_26, It appears that we are not yet quite out of danger with respect to the cattle plague, and that unless great care and caution are exercised there will be reason to fear a renewal of its fearful ravages. We recommend the attention of all concerned to the letter of Mr. HuDsoN, a Norfolk agriculturist of eminence. He states that it will be most unwise to permit the markets and fairs to be opened for six mouths yet, as although the cattle plague seems to be "stamped out,"" so sure as we open the markets and fairs we shall again suffer from the horrid disease." The reason given for this fear is that many unprincipled men will be sure to send foreign cattle into this country, and thus the plague will be spread through the land anew. This seems likely enough, and surely after all that we have suffered from losses and otherwise in con nection with this evil it will be better and wiser to go too far in the other direction, and to err on the side of over prudence rather than to alter the wise restrictions until lately in force to be removed too soon. The orders of the Privy Council are not being attended to as they ought to be, and we hope that the attention of the au thorities will be drawn to these infractions. It would, in truth, be a deplorable calamity if the disease again broke out among us, and the best in terests of society call for the same care that has been taken during the past year to be taken for some months to come, or the consequences may be too disastrous to estimate. In point of fact more danger is often incurred at the time when the more immediate symptoms have subsided than at any other period, and let us not fall under such a fatal error as to relax cautions when and where they are so imperatively called for as in respect to this epi- demic among cattle. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. The papers are still occupied almost exclusively, I might say entirely, with the subject of Mexico, for they abound in news and conjectures respecting it. The opinion most in credence seems to be that the Emperor Maximilian has not abdicated. Some of the papers, indeed, even disbelieve the report that he has left the Empire. Ihe Journal des Debats says :—" Persons whom we have reason to believe to be well-informed affirm that Maximilian is determined to leave Mexico, and, indeed, that he is now on his way to Europe. We give this news, however, under the most express reserve, although it conies from a source which inspires us with confidence." 1 he Pati ie seems to disbelieve the report. The Avenir National asserts that the Emperor was detained at Orizaba, and that the French troops instead of preparing for departure had received orders to concentrate themselves, and to fortify their positions upon several points. On the other hand, the Messager Franco-America 71 states positively that Maximilian only took the re solution of returning to Mirama upon learning that General Castelnau had not only received orders to embark the French expeditionary corps, but also to send home the officers, sub-officers, anal soldiers who had entered the Mexican army. Marshal Bazaine, it says, strongly urged the Emperor to change his resolution to depart, or at all events that h e should defer his departure until the Marshal should be able to confer with General Castelnau upon the subject. The inauguration of the railway from Ciudad Real to Badajoz, which establishes a railway com munication between central Spain and Portugal, has just taken place with great solemnity. The Ministers of the two Governments of Spain and and Portugal were present at the ceremony. At the banquet which followed toasts were reciprocally drank to the health of her Catholic Majesty and his Most Faithful Majesty.. The speeches made upon the occasion bore testimony to the benefits which would result from a rapid mode of communication between the two kingdoms, by developing their mutual prosperity and advantage. In Russia, also, there is an increasing develop ment of railway communication. The line from Roustchouk to Varna has just been opened. Trains starting twice a-day connect the extreme points of the line, and the arrival at Varna corresponds twice a week with the departure for Constantinople of an Austrian Lloyd steamer. The Spanish Government has appointed a Com mission, the President of which is M. Benavides, for merly Minister of Foreign Affairs, to examine with scrupulous attention the question of money circula tion, and particularly with the object of ascertaining if it be advantageous for Spain, who has already adopted the metrical system, to adhere to the mone tary convention concluded on 23d December,:lB6s, between France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy. There are some difficulties in reference to this im portant question as regards Spain arising from frac tional differences in the value of Spanish coins, but the belief is that the obstacles are not insurmount able. The total amount of the subscriptions for the re lief of the sufferers by the late inundations in France now reaches 3,221,155 f. , - - Baron de Barante, a member of the French Academy, died yesterday at the age of 84, at his chateau near Thiers. In his time he played an im portant part both as a diplomatist and a politician, but perhaps h e acquired more fame as historian. The last work of M. Barante was "L'Histoire de la Vie et des CEuvres de Royer Collard." The Baron was married in 1814 to Mdlle. d'Houdetot, and the first T e N a m p e o s l t e on e i n g e n n e t d a t r h t i e s t co a n t his aisc tli n o e f m t b a e r r j i a e g b e n . Leech of Paris, Gavarni, is also dead. Gavarni was 65. His real name was Sulpice Paul Chevalier. Forsorne years he had been a hypochondriac, the sole cause of which is stated to be th a t b e had been compelled to leave the house belonging to him at the Point du Jour, near Auteuil, it being required for the construction of the Circular Railway. At first Gavarni was engaged in mechanical pursuits, and he only began his labours with the pencil in 1834, when he made drawings of the fashions. The Chevalier assumed the name of Gavarni after a visit to the peaks of the Pyrenees known by that name, manners village of admirably. Languedoc. andpis h e ic sa h fte he illustrated were " L es r a Enf jGuas Among v t a a a n r s t n s l i I Tt : be k l er i e e r t r iw c e b h ine s e t r o d k ; k t Les Fourberies des Femmes," " Londres et les Anglais," "Le 3uif Errant," and " Le Diable it Paris." Madame Gassier, the celebrated Spanish singer, has just died at Madrid of a nervous affection. She was 45. Baroness Volant lately left a valuable bracelet in a hackney-carriage, but the coachman was honest enough to take it to her house witholit delay. The will cease to receive the pay hitherto granted to them. How people can persuade themselves that such a state of things as this is likely to be con ducive to the cause of nationality we are at a loss to imagine, and how these States in question can possibly gain anything by being absorbed in the Government of Prussia it is difficult to conceive. It is the same in everything, civil as well as mili tary ; Prussia is to ride rough-shod over old cus toms, old laws, and old institutions, and will never rest satisfied until she has everything in her grasp. Unfortunately, many events are taking place that seem to divert the notice of some Powers from the acts of the Berlin Government. Russia's attention is taken up in a great measure by the Eastern ques tion just now, and by other matters more or less relating to it. The Journal de St. Petersburg alludes to the attitude recently assumed by the Government of the CZAR respecting the Danubian Principalities, and states that all the acts of the Imperial Cabinet have been strictly in accordance with justice, and that Russia has sacrificed neither her dignity nor her interests as regards the establishment of Prince CHARLES. Baroness's servant was so delighted with this trait of honesty that he hazarded a bon mot, and said if this good fellow had not brought the bracelet back my mistress would have changed her name. In stead of Volant, she would have been Vole's." Last week there was some serious play at one of the Paris Clubs between a rich young Russian and a Turkish lord. On the first night of the play the Russian lost 150,000 f. The next day he won back 20,000 f., but on the following night he not only lost the 20,000 f., but nearly 250,000 f. in addition. The Russian then gave in, having suffered a net loss of 480,000 f. On each of the three days the gamblers played for 12 hours. A Toulon paper speaks of an educational pheno menon in that town. It is a little girl not three years old, named Eugenie Colombe. This child can not only read and write well, but she has suc cessfully passed through a searching examination upon the principles of the Christian religion, French grammar, geography, history, and the four rules of arithmetic. She can also discuss scientific subjects. This astonishing child began to talk at the age of four months. In confirmation of this account, it is stated that the child has been presented at the Alaritime Prefecture of Toulon. A discovery interesting to archaeologists has been made during the demolition of the old jetty at Havre, a large square stone, on which are engraved a crown of laurel and an inscription to the effect that the stone was laid on the 17th of June, 1669, by the representatives of his Majesty Louis XIV., King of France and Navarre, and during the Minis try of La Ville de Grace of Monseigneur de St. Agneu. The Turin Gazette announces that Prince de Monaco, through the medium of his ambassador, M. Naldini, has offered to the Pope his capital as an asylum, should his Holiness decide upon leaving Rome. The Madrid Gazette, in its account of the bap tism of the infant of Dona Marie Christine and Don Sebastian, says that the Royal infant received 27 names, the first of which is Alfonso and the last Todoslos Santos (all the Saints). The Lille people seem rather facetious, and they have another word to say about M. Rousseau, who complained that his wife was alive from a " deplor able mistake." An inhabitant of that town writes to the editor of a Paris paper to inform him that M. Rousseau "is beginning to recover from his grief and The he disappointmentweather yesterdayat no was magnificent. Thet being a widower." sun was bright all day, not a cloud was to be seen. All Paris was out of doors. During the night it changed to wet, and to-day there has been a violent wind, with occasional rain, hail, and a slight inter mixture of snow. At post-hour it was still stormy and desolate. LA TEST INTE,,,iI LIGMTUE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CHINA AND JAPAN. (Via Trieste.) SnANGHAI, Oct. 9. Disturbances are reported to have taken place among the Chinese soldiers at Nankin. The Vice roy beheaded 54 of them, who were caught robbing the inhabitants. The murderer of the captain and other persons belonging to the Lubra have not yet been dis covered. The foreigners in Hong Kong have me morialised the Secretary of State for the Colonies upon the subject. Two tea ships, the Westminster and J. E. Boyd have been wrecked. Advices received here from Japan announce that the death of the Tycoon took place in September. His successor has been appointed, and it is be lieved that he is favourable to foreign trade. The civil war was supposed to have terminated. Prince Choisu dictated his own terms, and it was believed they would be accepted. He has retained the command of the Straits of Simouosaki. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25. The Ministry of War has ordered the conversion of 162,000 muskets into breech-loaders. The work is to be executed at St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiew, Odessa, Wilna, and Warsaw. Tenders will be re ceived by the Artillery department of the War Ministry up to Dec. 9. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 26. The committee appointed by the Lower Austrian Diet has adopted the draft of an address to the Emperor, requesting his Majesty, in respectful terms, to convoke the Diet. ROME AND ITALY.

Mailath left yesterday for Vienna. It is believed that newspaper reporters will be allowed to be present at the sittings of the Com mittee upon Common Affairs. PEST; Nov. 25. Upon the proposal of M. Deak, the party under his leadership, have resolved that in the Address of the Diet in reply to the Royal Rescript, the Em peror shall be urged to restore, without delay, the laws of 1848, leaving the settlement of common affairs to the Committee appointed to consider that question. Mellon's Concerts. The last of these very pleasant concerts took place on Saturday, and it being announced that the even ing was fixed upon as the director's benefit a large and attentive audience assembled on the occasion. The programme was a remarkably good one. Alogether the closing concert was as successful as the opening one. The following address was circu lated throughout the theatre : " Ladies and Gentlemen, —Having arrived at the 96th and last night of my present series of concerts, 1 embrace this opportunity of thanking you and the public generally for the liberal support and patro nage with which I have been honoured. Your con tinual kindness has induced and emboldened me to undertake the production of an entirely new grand Christmas pantomime in this theatre : and I trust that pantomime will be found to equal if not surpass in splendour and magnificence the famed produc tions of past seasons. No effort of mine will be wanting to enhance the reputation this theatre enjoys for such a class of performance, and I hope that, should I succeed in producing the usual Christmas entertainment to your satisfaction, you will extend to me that favour I have hitherto been honoured in receiving. In acknowledging the kind and continuous support I have for many years received at your hands, and by which I have been enabled at my sole risk and personal responsibility to carry on the concerts for the past six years, I trust I may be permitted to solicit an extension of your kind patronage to my new venture in theatrical management. Permit me, then, most respectfully to bid you farewell, and to indulge the hope that I may anticipate a renewal of our acquaintance on Boxing-night, Dec. 26." The paaoinime promised by Mr. Mellon is en titled " Harlequin Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Mr. A. Harris will superintend its production, and Mr. Grieve will furnish the scenery, so • something very splendid may certainly be looked forward to. Mr. Buxton and Lieut. Brand, R. N. We are requested to publish the following corres spondence Admiralty, Nov. 22, 1866. Dear Mr. Buxton,--At the close of your letter in the Daily News of yesterday, introducing your correspondence with Lieut. Brand, R.N., you say, " It has lately been stated that Lieut. Brand has been promoted by the present Ad ministration." I cannot suppose that you intended any unfairness by this addition to your letter ; but I think you must see that such a reference to the supposed promotion, appearing, as it does on the same page with Lieut. Brand's shameful letters, must be in offectvery prejudicial to the Board of Admiralty. I therefore venture to submit to you that I have some reason to complain of your having published such a state ment without having previously ascertained how far it was well founded. I had not seen or heard of the statement till I read your letter, and I beg to inform you that it is en tirely untrue. I cannot conclude Without expressing my great regret that you have been insulted and annoyed by receiving from an officer of the royal navy such letters as those you have very properly made public. I cannot help still clinging to a hope that you have been imposed upon by some hoax, but you will see in the news papers that, if Lieut. Brand is unable to deny that he is the writer, he will be immediately superseded.—l roma* dear Mr. Buxton, yours truly, JOHN S. PAKINOTON. Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P. P.S. I shall await your answer before publishing this [otter. Fox Warren, Cobham, Nov. 23, 1866. Dear Sir John,—l regret very much that I attributed Lieutenant Brand's advancement to the present Adminis tration. My words were—" It has been lately stated that Lieu tenant Brand has been promoted by the present Adminis tration." This referred to a statement to that effect which appeared in some of the newspapers about a fortnight ago and which met with no contradiction. I find that Lieutenant Brand was promoted from the command of a mere tender belonging to the Aboukir to the command of her Majesty's gun-boat Delight by the late Board of Admiralty. Thanking you sincerely for the kind expressions which your letter contains, I remain, dear Sir John, yours truly, CHARL.ES BUXTON. COUNT BISMARCK'S HEALTH. —The Avenir Na tional says :—" The health of Count Bismarck is not pro gressing so satisfactorily as the Prussian Court would de sire. King William lately sent to him three of the most experienced doctors of Berlin. The result of the consulta tion is not the most favourable, and Herr von Bismarck has been ordered to observe the most complete repose for several months to come. Our correspondent informs us that he would not be surprised to find the portfolio of Fo reign Affairs intrusted to Herr von Savigny ad interim. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A JOCKEY.—At East Witten, near Middleham, in the North Riding of York shire, ou Friday last, a fatal accident befel a jockey. A race was being run for a gold cup by three horses, and in the second heat a horse named Carnizette, ridden by a young man named Chisholm, swerved at a sudden turn in the course, and at a tree which was lying a little way off. Chisholm was thrown off, and, pitching his head against the tree, ho was killed on the spot. The body was at once removed to await a coroner's inquest, and the rest of the races were abandoned for the day. HIGH TIDE.—A tide of unusual height occurred on Saturday in the Thames, the highest point being reached at seven minutes past three. Large portions of the space between the liver wall of the embankment and the shore were under water, and quantities of timber and other materteds were floating about in confusedmasses. The largest portion under water was near the new Temple landing stairs, the water having obtained entrance through the sewer which is in course of construction to carry off the sewage from the streets leading from the Strand to the fixer to the portion of the low level sewer in the embank ment. No serious injury was done, and on the opening of the sluices the water was very speedily drained off into the river. Since the commencement of the works, some three years since, so high a tide has not been witnessed, and when at the full it reached to within a few inches of the upper course of masonry of the river wall. On the other portions of the embankment where the tide swept over the works no damage of any consequence was expe rienced, as the great work is too far advanced to be injured by any tidal action of the river.

(From the Berlin Correspondent of the Times.) ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20. Whoever has been lucky enough to spend a week of his life in Italian air will, I dare say, admit that half the time would have been sufficient to acquaint himself with the manners and habits of the people. The genial climate causes all the business of life to be transacted. in the streets. The sky is so blue and the air so warm that no one wishes to be cooped up within four walls. Why forego the sight of the heavens and the fragrance of the flowers when both can be enjoyed by stepping over the threshold ? Those who cannot afford to saunter about at any rate try to perform the drudgery of life al fresco, while others whose vocations do not admit of being carried on before the public eye throw open doors and windows tomake as near an approach to nature as possible. Love-letters are penned in the garden, and skirts sewed on the doorsteps. The cook washes cabbages in the gateway, a bevy of children stand ing by, some watching the operation, and learn ing their lessons for the morrow. In Russia everything is different. No one goes out unless absolutely compelled to leave the protection of the house. The street is not an extension of the draw ing-room, the workroom, or even the bedroom, as in Italy, but only a means of communication. No one stands still on the pavement. All rush and hurry past each other. Except the.numerous cab men, and a few newspaper boys languidly standing about in the Newski Prospect, I have hardly no ticed a single creature in this immense capital earn ing its daily bread in the streets. No more than half- b.-dozen organ 7 grinders have intruded them selves upon my gratified senses within the space of a fortnight. I remember one whose heroism in exposing himself to the cold was the greater as he had no legs, and could not even attempt to warm himself by walking about. Perhaps he has a com rade who, finding himself in the same predicament, occasionally meets his companion in misery that they may mutually beat each other's arms and chests. Such, at least, is the expedient adopted by cabmen, who, with four extra legs at their disposal, suffer as much as the legless. Strange above all things is the thin clothing of the poor. Under sheepskin and felt boots, cotton is frequently worn even by men. I have iu this month of November, though the streets are covered with snow, and a cutting wind seems to be blowing right in your teeth whichever way you turn, seen men at work without a fire, in costumes more suited to the climate of Naples than to that of St. Petersburg. Bare feet, a blouse of printed calico, and the thinnest of breeches are little calculated to keep soul anti body together in such a country as this. :When going out boots and furs are expected to make up for deficient underclothing. Of course they fail to do it, and the mortality is correspondingly great. Thus it is that, apart from the characteristic style of architecture and the costume of the people, there are few, if any, sights to be seen in the streets of St. Petersburg. Whatever the strong or the weak points of Russia may be, they are at this season concealed in the houses. There is only one thing which makes the Russian stop in the street even in winter. It is the duty of prayer. God, according to the doctrine of the Orthodox Church, as of all Many dutiful members of the Church, and more especially ladies of rank, not content with praying without, enter the churches or one of the many chapels abounding in every part of the town. These chapels are most of them but a few feet square, and with their open windows and shining candles, seem to invite the passer-bye to step in and compose his thoughts in worship. Their walls are entirely covered with images of the same kind as those which in larger churches occupy the partition separating the altar from the nave. Great and small, whole figures atid busts, are painted side by side, separated by heavy frames of an Arabesque character, in wood or some glittering metal. Frequently, I believe I may say in the case of old pictures always, the face and the hands only are painted, the rest of the body be ing appended in embroidery, gold cloth, beaten sil ver, or plate. Such workmanship generally surrounds even the head, the face just peeping out from amid a chaplet of brilliant folds and rays. To the faithful the metal or silken clothing which, so to say, is put upon the pictures, affords an opportunity for adorn ing the object of their adoration with precious stones. I have seen pictures with the Virgin decked out with colours and diadems of countless price, and there are few of these sacred images in the larger churches of this and the other capitals of the realm whose jewels do not amount to a very con siderable sum. By a natural amplification of this custom, the pictures, being considered as persons, are occasionally presented with treasure deposited in their frame, but not attached to them. In the Peter and Paul Cathedral there is an oil painting of .the Virgin to which an Empress who died not long ago sacrificed a ring now suspended before it. Be fore another produet of the brush hang diamond earrings which belonged to an Empress of a re moter age, and in pious humility were ceded by her to Vie Mother of God. In preference to others, pic tures enjoying a reputation for working miracles are overloaded with jewellery of every kind, mostly be stowed to support prayers offered up or in gratitude for answers granted. The time-stained but still lovely face of the Holy Mother of God of Kazan, preserved in the Kazan Cathedral here, before which Kutusoff prayed when setting out against Napoleon, wears a more costly diadem than any Empress in the world. On his victorious return Kutusoff gratefully added to her gems, and his statue was eventually put up in front of the church whose patron hal lent a gra cious ear in his petition and strengthened his hand against the enemy. The desire to remind mankind of the Deity by means of these pictures is so decided that the same ofteu-seen frames and faces appear no only in churches and chapels, but also ln other _ . localities, considered, it seems, to be in special need of protection. All the principal entrances of the Moscow and St. Petersburg bazaars are fortified by Virgins and favourite saints. The po r t a l of the Ad _ _ miralty is flanked on either side by ancient images, and in the casemated passage of the fort of Peter and Paul, which commands the capital, a painted Christ keeps watch and ward over the gate. In Moscow, where the multiplicity of these pictures is such as almost to amount to a material incitation o: the Omnipresence, a peculiarly sacred representa tion of Christ, " the Redeemer of Smolensk," is fixed over the principal gateway of the Kremlin. Criminals doomed to death formerly asked for the favour of being executed with their eyes fixed upon this wonder-working Piece of painted wood. Even now no one is allowed to pass through the gate without uncovering his head. Emperor and Mujik alike pay their tribute of respect to " the Redeemer of Smolensk." In all churches Divine service is performed seve ral times a clay. It chiefly consists of prayers in toned by the priest, or several priests officiating at the same time. The responses are sung by a choir consisting of a few voices only. Powerful bassos pre. dominate, and are seconded by the sweet sopranos of little boys. The congregations are small on week days, the churches being open throughout the day, and every one it seems, competent to perform his devotions as well without as with the assistance of the priests. What there is of a congregation takes no very visible part in the service. They stand and kneel about in the nave of the church, inaudibly muttering sacred formulas, or listening silently to the solemn chantingbf the appointed servants of the altar. Sermons are very rarely preached. Why so many churches should be built when this is the peculiar arrangement of the Greek service I c,anno . _ tell. So far as the stranger is able to see, the prac tical purposes of devotion would, under the ritual of the Orthodox Church, be as well subserved by diminutive chapels. However, the churches in Russia, though too large for their congregations, are in reality much smaller than in Protestant countries. Statues and organs are prohibited by canon law. Priests are but rarely seen in the streets, and their garb, consisting of long black robes and broad brimmed hats, savours less of the ecclesiastic than that of the Catholic clergy. Young men peforming functions of a subordinate character in the churches are easily distinguished by their long hair, never touched by scissors, and, perhaps. not often enough by combs. CANNON-STREET AND CHARING-CROSS LINE.- The South-Eastern contemplate, it is said, putting on at no distant date trains running at ten minute intervals. This would be nearly double the present train service, and a great improvement.—llerapath. SINGULAR INCIDENT IN A THEATRE.—A SAILOR'S LOVE OF FAIR PLAY.—On Saturday evening an • amusing yet startling contretemps occurred at the Theatie Royal, Portsmouth, which afforded a very strong illus tration of the British sailor's love of fair play and his feeling towards an oppressed fellow-creature. After the drama of " Faust," .a piece was produced entitled "The Slave's Revenge," the two leading characters being a slave and a planter. In the course of the play the slave is turned over to the planter, who is pretty liberal in the use of the lash. A number of seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship Hector were seated in the pit, and it was observed that they did not appear to relish this state of things, watching the movements of the two with anxious looks and expressions of disapprobation. At length the slave is supposed to be laid insensible, and the brutal planter is about to spurn him with his foot, when one of the seamen could stand it no longer, but leaped upon the stage, putting himself in a fighting attitude, and his ap pearance so startled the planter that he made his exit from the stage as speedily as possible, leaving the "tar" in un disturbed possession. The sailor looked upon the matter as a reality; for he loudly exclaimed, "Kick a man when he is down ; not if I know it!" and taking up the astonished slave in his arms, as carefully as if he were a baby, he quietly deposited him in the wings. This strange incident excited no little commotion in a well-filled house. The curtain was lowered, and it was not until "Jack" had been appeased by the assertion of the slave that he had not been ill-treated that he retired from the stage, and thus enabled the play to proceed. other Christian denominations, is omnipresent, and may be as well invoked in the closet as in the temple or the public thoroughfare. But it seems to be regarded as more than ordinarily meritorious in this country to peform one's devotions before sacred images, and as the believers cannot possibly enter each of the many churches scattered through every street, they frequently remain standing out side the door, muttering prayers, and acquitting themselves of their religious obligations in a manner less formal, it is true, yet equally consistent with the rules of their Church. The devotion exhibited on these occasions is ap parently earnest and sincere. Gentlemen of rank excepted, I have seen persons of all classes and both sexes engaged in this pious occupation. Strong men in sheepskins, with yellow beards,, looking like the divinities of Northern mythology--ladies, the wives of officers and daughters of Councillors of State, and poor, miserable women, hobbling about in the winterly roads, and resorting every now and then to the image of their choice to ask it for their daily bread—all seem to prostrate them selves with equal humility before the shrine of their patron saint. Before my eyes, but utterly unheedful of my presence, a man in semi-ecclesias tical garb, who seemed to be a novice or sacristan, knelt down before a picture and in solemn orison touched the pavement thrice with his forehead. He then rose, turned round, and with an adoring ges ture raised his hand toward several other pictures suspended at a distance. I don't think we two should agree on all questions were we ever to meet again and discuss the things of this and the other world in a friendly and tolerant way; but, so long as religion exists, the purity and heartfelt nobleness of his supplication will compel the respect of those to whom the grave is not the necessary end of man's career. , Call tit Q/11111Bbi: HER MAJESTY, &c• WINDSOR CASTLE, Saturday The Queen, with Princess Beatrice, attended 13 1 the Duchess of Roxburgh°, walked and drove yes terday afternoon.
