It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range oC surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation he has in this resdect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment Of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH begs most respectfully to announce that this favourite place of amusement will OPEN on MONDAY, Sept. 3d, under new au spices, and with a series of Extraordinary Performances. As every thing the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some startling change, the Lyceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic Wand, be instantly transformed into the wizard's Psycomaatheum ; while the cl iss of Enterta nments presented within its walls will be as unlike anything that has been seen before as it is possible to con ceive. Preparations have been In progress for many months past to produce these Entertainments on a scale of magnitude and excellence worthy of the wizard's fame and popularity. His assistant spirits have been ordered to spare no expense in the compounding of their spells; and the result it is hoped will be an Entertainment which, for " startling effects," will far outstrip the wildest French melo drama ; with " rapid changes" more surprising than an actor's play ing twenty parts, in twenty different dresses; with tricks more wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman : and " trans formations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with envy. Paormsson ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having comi leted the entire circuit of the globe, and visited almost every part of Europe, Am Tica, India, and Australia, attended everywhere with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of any individual aspiring to the titles of a co.mupolitan artiste, will give his extraordinary DELASSEMENS MAuIQUES in the above Theatre for a limited period, preparatory to his final retirement from public life. No exertion will be spared on his part to secure the continuance of the public favour which he has hitherto enjoyed wherever he has presented himself. On the Continent. from st Petersburg to Madrid; in America, from Canada to Mexico, and from New York to San Francisco; everywhere, in short, have the Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in "astonishing the natives" of the various countries visited. His performances have been prtroni-ed y audiences amaunting in the ag -regate to very many millions; and he is the only British Professor of his art who, in addition to having been honoured by all the Courts of Europe, has also been commanded to perform before her Majesty the QUEEN. Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond Its due deserts, let it suffice to say it ts his art. He has devoted himself for years to the perfecting it, and rend, ring it more fitted to amuse and entertain the public. That he has been successful in his efforts he thinks, from what he has said, is pretty certain ; indeed a life time spent in diligent purnit of excellence in any art, whatever it may he, can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency. It is the result of this long study that will be presented at the Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted will be exhibited by the aid of apparatus outriValling any that has been previously constructed. anoth r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens Magiques will be a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of the age, with illustrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief of Spirit-rapping, Table -turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions, to be classed generally" under the now popular head of the " sell " theory. In the Wizard's performances there will be found mirth, for those who seek merriment ; mystery, for those who fancy the rirrster'ous ; paradoxes, for the lovers •t• the paradoxical ; wonders, for those who like the wonderful; startling surprises, 'or those eager for excitement.

Russian Travelling.—Many persons may have given ac counts of the different modes of travelling in Russia, but they for the most part have only travelled on the roads and better ways of communication, where no great diffi culties exist ; it is in the interior of the country that all the pleasures and pains of Russian travelling are to be found. If you want to go to any place where there is no post road, you must hire a kibitka(unless you have a carriage of your own) and three horses. A kibitkais, properly speaking, merely an arched covering of matting that can be put on to a waggon or sledge ; as the kabitka is useless without the vehicle, the one name is applied to everything that is covered in this way. With this you do about fifty miles a-day, stopping at night to rest the horses in miserable h uts, where frequently you can procure nothing but black bread and /. little milk, with straw or hay to to upon, if you prefer sleeping in the huts, where vermin are generally very abundant, and the hut crowded. The best way, and that generally adopted in summer-time, is to sleep in the ki bitka. Every little luxury or convenience you must carry with you, or do without it ; cups and saucers, knives and forks, plates and dishes, are things unknown in a Russian hut. All these things are sold packed in neat boxes for travelling, and without one of these boxes few travel. Ii iiao weather, or in the winter, when the roads are good, it is very bearable ; but in the spring and autumn it is fearful to be obliged to travel, with the mud more than knee deep; for there are no roads in the: interior of the country, but merely a broad strip of land that is set apart for the use or travellers, and called by courtesy a road; therefore it is easy to suppose what travelling trust be through a rich alluvial soil, in which you have no hard bottom, but the heavier the vehicle the deeper it sinks. I have already given an example of what travellir gis in 1 spring, over such a mockery of roach as I have described. The Russians say that this state of things only lasts about three months in the year, and not always that, while at the 1 other seasons you can travel faster than in many other countries. This is so far true ; I have often done myself 12 miles an hour with a post telega ; but it frequently hap pens that at the very time you m est want to use despatch you are detained by bad roads and want of horses, which is another grievance that all travellers are subject to, hay ing frequently to wait hours for horses, which are not kept in sufficient number to supply the demand. Besides all these inconveniences there is another that must not be lost sight of. The ordinary way of harnessing the horses is three abreast—one in the shafts, which are drawn tight to a bow attached to the collar of the shaft horse ; and it is the spring of this bow that keeps the horse in his place, for he has no traces to draw with ; the other two horses are at_ tached by ropes to a kind of outrigger at the sides. Now, neither the ropes nor any other part of the harness are ever examined to test their capabilities, but everything is made to serve till it gives way; and there is generally a breakage of something to detain the traveller during every other sta tion upon an average. The repair of these things does not require much time, it is true ; but when they occur fre quently during a long journey, then about one hour in ten is lost in repairing damages. In consequence of the ex treme difficulty of travelling, appointments are never kept with any degree of punctuality. Even in the towns, where there are few paved streets, it is no uncommon thing to see vehicles sticking in the mud. I have seen carts loaded with merchandise obliged to be dug out, and have passed through streets in droskies with the soft mud running under my legs, while my feet have been on the driver's back to keep them out of it. In some Government towns the ladies have been known to pay visits with oxen to draw their carriages. Picture to yourself, fair reader, if possible, your carriage driven up to a door by bullock drivers, to the sound of Tsob, tsobi (the ordinary words laddressed by a little Russian peasant to make his oxen go), and leaving your cards, or going to a ball in the same manner. Siberian Convicts.—Those poor convicts condemned to Siberia suffer a martydrom before they roach their final place of punishment. There they are made to work in the mines, and only allowed to see daylight' once a year ; or some, for minor offences, are allowed to work on the sur face ; others, again, are sent to colonise the country, which is covered with snow nine mouths in the year ; while the nobles are merely sent to the towns, where they live under strict surveillance of the police. I have been told by many persons who have inhabited Tobolsk and other towns, tha, • the society to be met with there is most superior, being for the most part composed of political exiles, and consequently of men of good acquirements, chiefly Poles. The common people, before being sent away, are generally sentenced to receive a certain number of lashes with an instrumout called a pleit, or knout, which is a thick leather plaited thong about a yard long, at,t,ached to a handle about the same length. The .eriminal a paraded thneugh the town with the executioner and airiest, accompanied by a drum to 1 call attention, and a guard of soldiers ; ho is then taken to the scaffold, which is generally erected in some conspicuous place in the town ; here ho is bound and stripped, and the executioner takes his place at a few yards distance. Upon his crying " Beware I" Le walks slowly up, and strikes the culprit across the back, from the shoulder to the hip ; he then walks slowly back again to his place, where he re mains a short time, crying again " Beware !" and striking across the back in an opposite direction. As every stroke generally draws blood, and as they are delivered at inter vals of about two minutes, there are few who can support more than 15 blows at a time, some not more than five. When the unfortunate wretch has received as many blows as the medical man present thinks ho can support without endangering his life, he is taken to the hospital, where he is kept till he is in a fit state to receive the remainder, or a portion of his sentence, which is only the prelude to his long and painful journey to the dreary regions of northern Asia. Travelling Convicts.—When they set out, they have gyves rivetted to their legs, and are made to walk with these, which are excessively painful, chafing the ankles dread fully. Those are removed about every four or five hun dred miles for two or three days, when they are allowed to rest. While on the march they are allowed three copecks per diem to provide themselves with all the necessaries of life—that is a little less than a penny farthing ! Some of them—serfs who are sent by their masters for no particu lar offence, but simply because they are obnoxious to them —have no fetters on their legs, but are chained together with long chains in groups of four. The women are never chained. Merchants.— -The class of merchants in Russia is perhaps the most truly national, the most independent, and certainly the most patriotic at the present moment. They are chiefly from Russia Proper, and aro men who by their own exer tions have raised themselves originally from the state of serfs to that of freemen, as far as a Russian can be free ; they have generally begun as hucksters, or perhaps shop men, with a ticket of leave, and a condition to pay their master a certain sum annually; then they have saved money enough to buy their freedom, then saved a small capital, and begun business, which has been gradually ex tended, till it has reached colossal proportions. One man whom I knew, who began in this way, died worth millions. Of course there are the descendants of those who com menced that still continue trade, though many of them are desirious of seeming noble, and will frequently expend fortunes that their fathers have toiled for in order to ob tain some trifling rank ; those who are more sensible con tinue to walk in their fathers' footsteps, extending their commercial relations and fortunes at the same time. Among these men are to be found all the old customs that have now become obsolete among the nobles. The merchant class complain most bitterly of the exactions they are subjected to at the hands of the authorities. Every officer of police must have his pick ings out of them ; one has to furnish them with cloth for their uniforms, another with sugar, a third with tea ; another, again, will have to make a present of a silk dress for the wife of a Jack in office, or a piece of line* for his own shirts ; again, the tailors, bootmakers, and other tradesmen have to work for them ; in the market they receive all the provisions they require for their house hold. If any one in the market should think of refusing to let the officer of police have what he likes to take, all that he may bring after that will be condemned as unfit for food. The greater the man, the larger theibribe that must be made to him. Once I was in the cellar of a very large wine merchant, who was speaking very highly of some wine that he had by him, and regretting that the quantity was very small, when the governor of the town entered. The merchant was cap in hand to his excellency. His ex eellency caught sight of the wine we were speaking of at the time, and inquired what it was, when, to my great as tonishment, the merchant told his excellency that it was good for nothing, and he was thinking of throwing it away, as, for his own reputation, he could not think of selling it. The governor said that he was very fond of that wine, and would like to have some when a better quality arrived, which he was assured ought to come very shortly. When his excellency was gone, I asked the merchant why be did not lot him have the article ho was praising so highly to me the minute before ? With a knowing look he said it was much too good for him. " How so ?" " Why, I should be obliged to send him all T had if he once tasted it, and my customers would be obliged to wait." " But I thought you kept wines to be sold ?" " So I do, but not to be given away ; for during the three years his Excellency has been in the town he has always honoured me with his custom, but never by paying any of his bills, which I dare not ask for ; so, if I am obliged to make him a present of all the wines he may choose to consume they shall'not be of the best quality." If any one should be found daring enough to oppose these exactions, he is subjected to a hundred petty annoyances which the police have it in their power to inflict. The street oppo§ite li* Irmo if 4 b*IlY SWePti and his lomat§ are carried off, and kept for two or three days, to the great inconvenience of the master, who is eventually obliged to pay to get them discharged ; then they will pretend that there is a suspicion that he has stolen goods concealed on his premises, and 'search for them, carrying off, perhaps, something valuable to be examined, which never comes back again, or oven the master himself is sent to prison, and, though innocent, is obliged to pay smartly to get out Again. For all this there is no redress, so they find that the first loss is always the least. The merchants are divided into three classes or guilds ; those of the first guild have the right to trade to any amount, with any part of the world, to establish manufac•' tories, &c. ; those of the second can only import goods at one time to the amount of 15,000 roubles ; while those of the third guild have not the right to import at all, but must employ agents of either of the other guilds. Of course the first and second pay more than the third, but it is very difficult to know what they really pay, as it varies in different towns—not the duty exacted by the Govern ment, but the sum required by the president as a doucour before he will give the receipts and sign the necessary papers. They aro also subjected to taxes that vary accord ing to the guild, as to the ex actions of the police, before mentioned. The Bribery of the Officials.—There is one thing that, so long as it lasts, will prevent Russia from taking her rank :mong the great civilised nations of Europe, and that it is :he vast system of bribery that is carried on in all the mblic offices. It may appear strange to say a system of )ribery, but so it is. Bribery forms the rule, and honesty he exception, in all matters relating to the law or govern ment, though, doubtless, there are some few honest and aonourable men to be found in the Russian empire ; but I Am forced to say that the number is ♦ery small. Pecula ion is again another very prevalent sin, and generally practised throughout the country, otherwise how could men live upon the miserable pittance allowed them by the government for their services ? All this, however, is not considered as a stain upon men's characters; on the con trary, as it prevails universally throughout the country, here is no dishonour attached to it. As an instance .f its extent, I will just cite an example that came un ler my own observation not long since :—A man, a 4aff officer in the military service, holds a situation, he salary of which is about 701., and to be able to etain his place he is obliged to pay, for the protection of soother man, 1,600/. per annum ! This he not only does, hut keeps up a large establishment of servants, horses, &c. It will be naturally asked, how can he do it ? Why, by bribery, which renders his place worth to him about 1,000/. or 5,0001. a-year. Nobody ever thinks of inquiring about the salary attached to any office, but how much can be made in it. There is a work in the Russian language which unfortn 'lately I do not possess, in which this system is very well described in a short dramatic sketch, the subject of which. is, as near as I can remember, as follows :—A peasant of the crown, known to be rich, is summoned for having some utensils for distilling illicit brandy on his premises, which were placed there on purpose to entrap him by some one .:mployecl for that purpose. After going on for two or three years, during which time the poor fellow is made to pay smartly to the clerks, and secretaries, and other employi:s of the criminal court, the affair goes to the president or judge, and accordingly the quasi criminal waits upon the great man at his own house. On inquiring of the servant if he can see his master, ho is informed that he is particularly engaged at that moment, and he is requested to wait. Af ter waiting for a considerable length of time, during the whole of which he has seen the judge through the open door walking up and down the next room smoking, ho again ventures to ask the servant when he can see his master, and on receiving the same answer he informs the lackey that he wants to see him upon some urgent business, back ing his argument by the present of a rouble. Serv.—"Why diat'nt you say that before? I remember how master told me to admit you when you called." The suitor is admitted. Presid.—" Well, my good man, yours is a very bad case ; all the implements found upon your premises. lam afraid it will go hard with you, and that nothing can save you from Siberia." Peas. (falling upon his knees)—" But, father! protector ! I am innocent, quite innocent; I knew nothing of those things, and have proved it.'' Presid.—"Yes, - yes, but still they were found ; you can not disprove that fact. It grieves me to see so good s man as you appear to be sent to Siberia, and I would help you with pleasure ; yet, what am Ito do ?" Peas. : " sllow, at least, my wife to go with me ; it will be somo comfort to me in my misfortune." Presid• " I would with pleasure, my good man, but you know the law must be fulfilled, and I don't know whether your wife can go or uot. Do you happen to know where I could get a good mulch cow? milk is so difficult to procure in a town. Mind, it must be a good one !" Peas.: " 1 have one at home that would just you, sir, and she is heartily at your '+ service. Can my wife go with me, sir r Presid. : " W.II, I'll see what I can do for you. Don't forget the cow !" " Peas.: " May the Lord bless your honour ! But, then, what will become of the children when we are both gone away? Perhaps you could let them go too, sir ?" Pre sid. ; " No, it will be a great favour if I can procure per mission for your wife to go with you ; as for the children, that's impossible, and not to be thought of. Do you know that my corn-factor has disappointed me, and not sent in the oats according to contract, and by to-morrow night I shall have none to give my horses, and you know it is impossible to procure any in town Peas. : "I have some at home, sir, and shall only be too happy to send them. May the children go, sir:" Presid. : " You may send in at the same time some of the best wheaten flour for my table, and some ryo for that of my servants." Peas. : " I will be sure to send it, sir. May the children go ?" Presid. : " Well, since you wish it so earnestly, I will try what I can do for you." Peas.: " God bless you, sir ! But isn't it hard that a poor man should bo sent away from his comfortable home, where his fathers and grandfathers have lived before him, because some ono chose to hide utensils for distilling on his pre mises ? Perhaps you could get m 9 off altogether if you were to try ! Do try to save a poor man from ruin ! I shall be grateful to you for ever." Presid. : "Oh ! that is not to be thought of; the whole affair has been sent to the senate, and consequently is out of my hands. Pray, could you tell me where I could get a good pair of black horses for my wife's now carriage ? I am told there are some good horses in your neighbourhood. I should like them a good snatch." Peas. :" I have at home just such a pair as you want, sir, a beautiful match, four years old ; they are much too good for my use. I will send them to you, sir, with the cow, the oats, and the flour. Do you think it likely I may get off, sir 1" Presid. " I doubt it very much; nevertheless, I will try all I can for you : in the meantime, you send in to-morrow the cow, oats, flour, and horses. Stay, you may as well send at the same time, some fresh batter—say 100 pounds or so ; some honey, if you have it, or any other little country delicacy." Peas. : " I will send all you want, sir ; but say, only say, I shall not be sent to that dreadful place?" Presid.: " You may call again in three or four days, and I will let you know what I have done; but mind, I promise nothing." Peas. (bowing down to the ground): " God bless your honour, you have made me a happy man." Presid.: Do not hope too much ; I am not sure that I can save you, but will do all I can. Don't forget the flour, the oats, the cow, the honey, the butter, the horses, and anything else you think I should like." Peas.: " I'll for get nothing, sir - (Exit.) Presid. (solo) : " I think that a pretty good morning's work, when that man's innocence was proved, and his acquittal made out and signed yester day. I have it in my drawer at the present moment. It will be a lesson to him in future to keep oat of the law." This is, as well as I can remember, the subject of the dramatic sketch above-mentioned, and taken from a work entitled " Scenes from Life." It may be a little exaggerated, but that similar things have occurred I do not for a mo ment doubt. It is a common saying that in London you can get anything for money; and in Russia, I believe, you may do anything for money. It would be well if all the CMSC3 ended as well as the one above cited. I remember very well a woman, a widow, being accused of infanticide. She was in very good circum stances, possessing two mills and other property, worth pro bably some 3001. The affair was arranged as follows : Some one belonging to the court pretended to discover some flaw in the evidence, and offered to prove her innocence if a certain sum were paid down to him. One of the mills was sold to pay him, and the judge appeared to waver, but eventually over-ruled the objection. Then the advocate threw up the case, having received his foe, and another took it up in the same manner. The judge wavered in his decision again, and so on, till the poor woman had disposed of all she had, and paid the proceeds into the hands of one or other of the members of the court, whe, of course, shared with the judge. When all the resources were at an end, the woman was despatched to Siberia, after being kept in suspense for about 18 months. The way in which all law business is transacted greatly facilitates this. There aro no open courts as in England, no oral testimony; everything is done in writing, and every paper must be stamped. The sale of this stamped paper is the source of enormous revenue to the Rus sian government. The manner of proceeding is nearly as fol lows : A owes B a certain sum of money. B writes a paper stating the fact, and reclaiming through the aid of the law. which he presents to a particular division of the civil court. If this paper be not accompanied by a douceur pro portioned to the amount claimed, he is sure to have it re turned at the end of, perhaps a month, with the observa tion that it is not written according to the established form, or that it is not upon the right description of paper. (There are several kinds of stamped paper, and rules, which no one knows, laid down for their use.) B prepares another paper, which is rejected in the same manner, and so on, till, by finding that he is losing money and time, he pro t s at th L o , required douceur, when A is informed o fficially L clailua ouch a vial of Wiwi out reciviod t 2 ; ea wnttea answer into court, stating whether he acknowledges it a just debt or not. If A deny the debt, then Bis called upon to produce his witnesses, whosd affidavit is taken down in writing upon stamped Paper, subject to the same difficulties as the first paper. Suppose A has no other defence to make, then the affair (if a douceur be gi;ien) goes before the president and councillors of the court for decision, whore it is likely to remain till the president obtains his lion's share of the spoils of the poor plaintiff, who is generally - very fortunate if ho does not lose more than 25 or 30 per cent. of she original debt due to him. What affords these gentle- men the richest harvest is a case of disputed. property, where they are likely to be paid by both parties. - - As a proof that it is utterly impossible to do anything without paying, I will cite an instance that came under my own observation. A gentleman of property in Southern Russia had a dispute about some property which belonged to him, but which was claimed by another person. The affair had been going on for years in the manner mentioned above, and had been removed by appellation from court to court, till at length it had reached the senate of Moscow, the highest court of appeal in the empire. The rightful owner of the property, in order to hasten on the affair, went to Moscow himself, where ho saw the secretary of the senate, who promised him that it should be decided in his favour upon condition that he should give so much per cent. upon the value of the property. The gentleman offered the money at once, but the official said he would only accept of it when the case was decided in his favour. A month or six weeks afterwards they met in the street, and the secre tary invited his client (if I may so call him) into his office, where he showed him an entry in the sealed book of the court, in which the decision was given in his favour. Not having sufficient money about him at the moment, he pro mised to go to his hotel and return immediately ; but on arriving he reflected that, as the affair was already settled, entered in the book, and signed by all the members of the court, it would be useless to pay the secretary now all was done, ordered post-horses, and set out on his journey home ward. When he arrived, he called all his neighbours toge ther, and made a feast to rejoice over his success. But it was "diamond cut diamond." A few days after this he received the official notification that it had been decided against him, and that the property was to pass into the possession of his adversary. It is incomprehensible how this could have been managed ; for there is a string passed through every leaf of an official book, with the ends sealed, so that it is impossible to cut out the leaf and replace it by another ; but there appears to be some means of cheating justice even at the last moment, when everything is de cided. I can give another instance of the rapacity of the offi cials. Some years ago, a gentleman, a foreigner, had rea lised a considerable sum, about 70,000 roubles, by keeping a school, and, wishing to retire to his own country, gave up his establishment, giving at the same time notice to all who were owing him money that he must be paid. I believe there were about 30,000 roubles owing him by different parties. Finding that no one paid him, he determined to have recourse to the law. But notwithstanding his long residence in Russia, he counted without his host : the affair went on for some two or three months without any results, when, getting tired of waiting, he thought he had better leave the country with what he had, and gave notice ac- eordingly that he was ready to forego all his claims, at the same time applying for his passport. The Russian officials thought it too rich an opportunity to let the game slip thus through their fingers. He received a notification that he could not leave the country so long as he had any affairs unsettled at any of the courts of law. He an swered that be declined proceeding any further in the matter, and forgave all his debtors. But this was of no avail ; they would not let him go ; and it was only after a detention amounting to nearly two years, and a sacrifice of 20,000 roubles, that he could get away. Of course the :30,000 owing him he never obtained, and was only too glad to make his escape at that price. I think these instances will give a pretty good idea of the manner in which these things are carried on. But the subject is so vast that it would be inexhaustible were ono to detail all the means that are employed to extort money or anything else out of the poor suitors. These hawks are not at all particular as to what they accept. I remember one poor fellow who had a lawsuit, when asked for a donceur, said he had no money. But the official was not to be put off with that excuse ; he inquired what was the most valuable article the suitor had, and on hearing that it was a pair of patent leather boots, immediately soized upon thew, saying that if they would not fit him, they would somebody else, and promised to call for them in the evening ! Small quantities of brandy of the value of four pence or sixpence are frequently accepted. Nothing is too insignificant for the swoop of these birds of prey, who are protected by the double-headed eagle which they wear on their buttons. Peculation.—The system of peculation is again equally extensive, but less generally known;; Vit there is no doubt that a very large percentage of the public money, that is destined to useful improvements, finds its way into the pockets of,those who are charged with the execution of the imperial projects. Ihe mode of proceeding is very curious. A bridge is to be built, and a competition is announced for the contract to supply the materials, although the matter has long since been arranged between the contractor and the man who has charge of the works. But this is the form laid down by the law. If there should be anybody else to compete, he is either bought off or bullied out of it ; but this occurs very rarely. Having arranged all these prelimi naries, the contractor proceeds to supply the materials, which are accepted and pronounced good by the officer charged with the construction, although worth, perhaps, about half the sum put down in the estimate. This worthy gentleman pays the contractor a small commission over the value of the materials, and pockets the remainder. The business is not yet settled. When the bridge is built it has to be inspected by some superior officer, who in his turn fleeces the builder of a part of his profits, and sends in a report that the bridge is well-built, and likely to last the required time. This is the way in which nearly all the government jobs are manage 1, and the consequence is that you seldom find anything well constructed. The bridge above-mentioned, which ought to last 30 or 40 years, is possibly carried away at the end of five or six years, which is generally attributed to the great floods that take place in that year ; whereas, had the bridge boon properly con structed, it would have stood against any flood, the strength of which is easily calculated and provided for. But that is not their object, which is that of the boot mender, who to obtain work will repair the boots in one place and rip a thread in another, so that he may have another job again soon. As a proof that peculation is carried on systematically, I will cite an instance that came under my own observation. A young German officer of engineers, who was rather more scrupulous as to peculation than his brother officers, applied after some years of useful service to the country, to his superior officer that he would present him to the emperor as ono worthy of a reward. He was answered that he should be rewarded for his application to his profession. Shortly after this he was entrusted with the construction of some extensive Government works, and sent to a distant Go vernment, where he remained two or three years. On his return he presented himself to his superior, and reported that ho had completed the works he was charged to su perintend, adding that if he was thought before worthy of notice lie must be still more so now, and that his former application had never been noticed. The superior said he was to be more explicit. Upon which he said that he had never met with any encouragement for his talents ; that, having completed rather an arduous task, he thought he might expect some gratification at the hands of the Go vernment. The chief smiled, and remarked that ho had already enjoyed his reward, as, having to prepare all the plans, conclude and pay all the contracts, he ought to con. eider himself amply rewarded. The officer stood con vinced, at once and for ever, that in that Russian service honesty was not the best policy. He is living at the pre sent moment upon his pay ; of about 751. per annum, and expending not less than 400/. per annum ; yet ho does not make debts ! The lesson was not lost upon him. We must only take this case as one that is occurring every day, and which proves that a man ceases to become "the noblest work of God" in the holy Russian empire.

[ PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD; --- " - i !--. ' GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, Friday.--The miscellaneous concert of iast evening was attended by an extremely crowded and fashionable assemblage. The entertainment was abun dant, but not too much so for the appetite of the guests, who kept encoring piece after piece till midnight. Of course there was very little novelty, nor was much to be expected. Beethoven's pastoral symphony, admirably executed, began the concert ; and Rossini's overture to Guillaume Tell, played with marvellous fire, began the second part ; the rest of the concert consisted of vocal pieces—opera songs, duets, and trios ; English and Scotch ballads ; glees and part-songs, familiar to London concert-goers. Mr. Howard Glover's cantata, " Tam o'Shanter," which, it will be remembered, was lately produced at a concert of the New Philharmonic Society, was repeated on this occasion, the solo part being sung by Mr. Sims Reeves. It proved effective, and was re ceived with considerable applause. The only other novelty was a composition of Prince Albert's—a chorus intermingled with solos, extracted from a cantata called " L'lnvocasione all 'Armonia." The solos were sung by Madame Castellan, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Viardot, Miss Dolby, Messrs. Mario, Reichardt, La blache, and Weiss. From such performers it of course received full justice, and it was altogether highly credit able to the talents of the illustrious amateur. The performance of this morning concluded the musi cal portion of the Festival, which terminates, as usual, with a ball this evening. The ball was nearly as full as it was yesterday. The programme consisted of Beeth oven's Mount of Olives, Mozart's Requiem,, and a selec tion from liandel's Israel in Egypt. All these chefs d'ecuvre were superbly performed. " God Save the Queen" was then sung with all the strength of the prin cipal vocal performers, the orchestra, and the chorus. Mr. Costa, before leaving the orchestra, was loudly and repeatedly cheered by the whole assemblage. Thus finished one of the greatest music meetings every held in this country. We cannot conclude this notice without paying a tribute due to the merits of Mr. Stimpson, the organist, a musician of high talent, whose skilful and judicious treatment of his instrument contributed essen tially to the grandeur of the sacred music.

The holders of the Spanish coupon-certificates will read with interest the subjoined letter ad dressed by Mr. Otway, the acting British represen tative at Madrid, to Messrs. Weisweiller and Bauer, the agents of the committee of Spanish bondhold ers, whose exertions, we are glad to see, are being steadily continued : " MADRID, July 9, 1855.--Gentlemen,--I think it right to send you herewith copy of a note which, in con sequence of instructions received from the Earl of Cla rendon, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, I addressed on the 30th ult. to General Zavala, requesting to be made acquainted, for the infer. mation of my Government, with the powerful reasons which had induced her Catholic Majesty's Government to assent to the rejection of the petition of the bondhold ers to the Cortes. General Zavala, as you will observe in his reply, copy of which I enclose, informs me that my w e isweiller and BaufierntalSniacdiarild." communication has been referred to the Minister of Fi nance.
