For all this there is no redress, so they find that answer into court, stating whether he acknowledges it a just debt or not. If A deny the debt, then Bis calleu. , t , . on to produce his witnesses, whose 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 given) goes before the president and councillors of the court for decision, where 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 the original debt due to him. What affords these gentle mea 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 umpire. The rightful owner of the property, in order to hasten on the affair, went to Moscow himself, where he 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 cone., 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 (Front the New No. of " Blackwooors .3ictgazine," continued front the Sun of yestercP2b) Russian Travelling.—Many person 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 kibitkaii, 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 t little milk, with straw or hay to lie 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-tiii2e, is to sleep in the . ki bitka. Every little luxury or convenience you must carry with you, or do without it; cups aid saucers, knives and forks, plates and dishes, are tlaings unknown in a Russian hut. All these things are sold packed in neat boxes for , travelling, and without one - of these boxes few travel. In fine 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 of travellers, and called by courtesy a road; therefore it is easy to suppose what travelling must 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 pf what travelling is in spring, over such a mockery of roads as A have deacribed.. The Russians say that this state of things only lasts about three months in the year, and not always that, while at the 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 oat 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 wheix 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 addressed by a little Russian peasant to make his oxen go), and leaving your cards, or going to a ball in the same manner.

The Bribery of the Officials.—There is one thing that, so_ long as it lasts, will prevent Russia from taking her rank unong the great civilised , nations of Europe,' and ithat it is the vast system of bribery •that is carried on, in, all the public offices.

M, Elwes, Esq., deceased, comprising the manor of Bossington, with the capital modern mansion-house of Bossington, and the gardens, pleasure-grounds, shrubberies, stabling, and other append ages adjo ming ; together with about 87 acres of arable, meadow, pasture, and wood land, with suitable farm buildings, labourers' cot• tages, &c., an excellent flour mill on the river Test, and a malt house and other premises, constituting the entire freehold manor and hamlet of Bossington, in the county of Southampton, with lands adjoining, partly freehold and partly copyhold, in the neighbouring parishes of Broughton and Houghton. The river Test, which Slows through the ' , state, affords very fine fishing, and adds materially to the beauty and richness of the estate.

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 anoaer instance of the rapacity of the offi cials. Some yearslago, agentleman, a foreigner, had rea lised a cohsiderableissum, about 70,000 roubles, by keeping a school, and, wishiiag to retire to his own country, gave up hirPestablishment, giving at the same timb 'notice to all who ware owing him money that he must be?! paid. I believe there were about. - 30,800 roubles owing him by different parties. Finding that no one 'paid him, he determined to have recourse to the law. But nohNithstanding 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 lot the game slip thus through their fingers. He received a notification that he could not leave the country so long as ho had any affairs unsettled at any of the courts of law. He all-_ sivered that he declined proceeding any further in the matter, and forgave all his debtors. But this was of no avail ; they would not let hihn 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. In considered as a qtain upon men's characters; on the con• trary, as it prevails universally throughout the country, there is no dishonour attached to it. As an instance of RS extent, I will just cite an example that came un der my own observation not, long since :—A man, a ,taff officer in the military service, holds a situation, the salary of which is about 701., and to be able to retain his place he is obliged to pay, for the protection of Another man, I,GOOI. per annum ! This he not only does, but keeps up a large establishment of servants, horses, &c. It will be naturally asked, how can he do it ? Why, by . . . . . METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT, ACT, 1855.

" We believe Mr. Courtenny's expetience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of surorise 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 of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. 'ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this rectect ; 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. iIF.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH begs most respectfully to announce that this favourite place of amusement will OPEN on MONGAY, 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 I.yceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic Wand, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycomantheum while the cl tss of Enterta nments presented within its walls will be as unlike an) th , ng that has been seen before as it is rossible 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 Entertamment 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. PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having comtleted the entire circuit of the globe, and Visited almost every part of Europe, Am Tice, 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 mnpoiltan artiste, will give hie extraordinary DELASSEMENS MAGIQUES 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 favotir which he has hitherto enjoyed wherever he has presented himself. On the Continent, from et. Petersburg 'o 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 -‘). audiences emanating in the avregate 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 commandel 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 is his art. lie has devoted hmself tor years to the perfecting it, and rends ring it more flt•ed 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 pur ult 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 nid of apparatus outrivalling any that has been previously constructed. knoth 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'i periormances there will be found mirth, for those who seek merriment; mystery, for those who fancy the m' - ster'ous ; paradox es, for the lovers et the paradoxical ; wonders, for those who like the wonderful ; startling surprise's, 'or those eager for excitement. There will be science for the sage, wisdom for the philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness for all. It will be the Professor's object. in fact. to produce a play each night in which the audience; themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever the plot may be, shall certainly be free from the fault of many mo dern dramas—the faulZ of lacking incident or exciting situations and unexpected denouemens. Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of Wonders. It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all. The bill of fare will shortly bo published in the programme now preparing ; and Professor Anderson, the carver of the feast, will spare no effort to please the taste of every guest who may honour his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish. On MONDAY, Sentember 3.1, and every night during the week, PROFESSOR ANDERSON, THE GRr.AT WIZARD OF THE NORTH, will have the honour of presenting his new series of DEL A.SSEMENS MAGIQUES, or the Wonders of the Ancient Magi, and the most ren wrned of Modern Magicians. The Great 'Wizard will select the most recherche experiments of his various programmes—from that submitted by hint to her Majesty, at Bal moral, to that which obtained the approval of the President of the United States; together with special novel feats, invented expressly for the o:casion, and embracing his extraordinary and amusing illus trations of Spirit-Rapping. The Entertainment will consist of Twelve Acts, divided into two parts, and arranged so that the in terest shall dramatically accumulate to its final denouement in the twelfth act. Act Ist Le Livre des Recueils Chaises." Act 2d— " Magical Locomotion." Act 3d —" L'Ecrin de Yerre." Act 4th— " The Cabalistic Counters." Act sth —" The New Bottle of Bacchus."

BIRMINGHAM, Friday.—The miscellaneous concert of last 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 Roesinrs 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 'Armenia." The solos were sung by Madame Castellan, Madame Rudersdnrff, Madame Viardot, Miss Dolby, Messrs. Mario, Reichardt, Las blache, and . Weiss. From su c h per f ormers i t o f course rec eived full justice, and it was altogether highly credit able to the talents of the illustrious amateur. The performance of this morning conc l u d e d th e musi cal portion of the Festival, whi c h t erminates, as usua l , with a ball this evening. The ball was nearly as full as it was yesterday. The prog ramme consisted of Beeth oven's Mount of Ol i ves, Mozart's Requiem, and a selec tion from Handers Israel in Egypt. All these chefs ceuvre were superbly performed. " God Save the Queen " was then sung with all the strength of the prin cipal vocal performers, the orche s t ra , an d t h e 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, w h ose s kilf u l an d judicious treatment of his instrument contributed essen tially to the grandeur of the i - acred music. :—President and 4 d , " 2351. 4s. ; secured seats, T i2flssll. h Vice-Presidents,oewaieng are a t the 2ls receipts. each, to-day 973, 1,02 11 . 13s. ; unse cure d sea t s, 10 e. 6d. each, 892, 468/. 6 5.; donations and c o ll ec ti ons , 3891 . 16s. 9d. ; six passes, 31. 3s. ; five guine a ti c k e t s , 22, 1151. 10s.

To Professor Holloway, Sir, I am happy to bear witness to the wonderful efficacy of your medicines in cases of scrofula.

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 months in the year; while the nobles are merely sent to the towns, where they live ander strict surveillance of the police. I have been told by many poisons who have inhabited Tobolsk and other towns, that 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 generallysentenced to receive a certain number of lashes with an instrument called a plea, or knout, which is a thick leather plaited thong about a yard long, attached to a - dandle zsbout the same length. The criminal s paraded through the town with the executioner and a priest, accompanied by a drum to call attention, and a guard of soldiers ; he is then taken to the scaffold, which isgenerally erected in some conspicuous place in the town ; here he is bound and stripped, and the executioner takes his place at a few yards distance. Upon his crying " Beware I" he walks slowly up, and strikes the culprit across the back, from the shoulder to the hip; lie 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 he 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 tho 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. These 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 bean gradually ex tended, till it has reached colossal proportions. Ono 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 continua 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 those 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 clot h 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 linen 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 thebribe that must bo made to him. Once I was in the cellar of a very large wino 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 e3llency 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. Wh en his excellency was gone, I asked the merchant why he did not lot him have the article be 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 I 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 potty annoyances which the police have it in their power to inflict. The greet ormite b Lingo if4b44 1 7 livePte 14 mot§ _ not disprove that fact. It grieves me to see so good a man as you appear to be sent to Siberia, and I would help you with pleasure ; yet, what am Ito do ?" Peas. : " Allow, at least, my wife to go with me ; it will be some 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 not. !i 150 you/happen to know where I could get a good milch dew? milk is so difficult to procure in a town. -Mind je it must be a good one !" Peas.: " I have one at home that would just you, sir, and she is heartily at your service. Can my wife go with me, sir ?" Presid.: " Well, 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 rye 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 ! Bat isn't it hard that a poor man ' should be 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 Let me 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 1 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 new carriage ? I am told there are some good horses in your neighbourhood. I should like them a good match." Peas. :" I have at home just such a pair as you want, sir, a beautiful match, four years old ; they aro 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 I" 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 butter—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, yen 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 got 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 out 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 cases 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 3031. 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 (mar-ruled the objection. Then the advocate threw up the case, having received his fee, 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, who, 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 are 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 proceedingis 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 produces tthße required douceur, when A is informed officially ";t atii4§ wit mai him, sad is ;squired W scud s eu Peculation.—The system of peculation is again equally extensive, but less generally known; but 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. The mode of proceeding is verycurious. 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 betweeu 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 those 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 managel, 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 been 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 ho would present him to the emperor as one worthy of a reward. He was answered that ho 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 be had completed the works he was charged to su perintend, adding that if he was thought before worthy of notice he must be still more so now, and that his former application had never been noticed. Tho superior said ho 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 gi atification at the hands of the Go vernment. The chief smiled, and remarked that he bad already enjoyed his reward, as, having to prepare all the plans, conclude and pay all the contracts, he ought to con sider himself amply rewarded. The officer stood con vinced, at once and for over, 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 he does not make debts ! Tho 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.

H. and C., was the reecipt of an " invoice of the investments" coupled with a hope that he " would not give up in discouragement, but give ue the opportunity of redeeming your fortune on the War wick meeting !" The victim in the present instance, however, is bent upon taking some dteisive step to re cover his money, in the hope of preventing the publio from being so shamefully fleeced by the whole race of advertising betting impostors.—Bell's Life. TEE SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. 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 0, I.Bss.—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 infor mation of my Government, with the powerful reasons which bad 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 communication has been referred to the Minister of Fi nance. I may here mention, that having heard that Mr. Drucker was endeavouring to obtain from Senor Bpi' a settlement of the Dutch claims, or more especially those connected with the Denda Diferida of 1831, _lsluocsiti no time in seeing his Excellency, and told him r ete st were favourable against au arrangement or projects, howeverd into which the case, I considered it to be my duty to p i ret!_st to the Spanish Government, being entered ereßritish did not include the just claims of th e Br itish I treated. bond holders, who had been hitherto that he would never most formal and positive assurance that hich the claims of all enter into any arrangements i 1 and properly included.

If it can be asserted that money was not lent to Spain in her hour of need, or that such loans have not been acknowledged, or, having been acknowledged, the bond holders have been duly paid the interest, then the peti• tion for justice of the bondholders to the representatives of the Spanish nation would properly have been rejected; but as the contrary of all this was the case, her Britan nic Majesty's Government are at a loss to conceive why the sanction and authority of the government should have been given to a proceeding which is a fresh Mins -1 tice to British subjects, and a fresh injury to the credit [ of Spain.—l avail myself, &c., t I (Signed) "L.
