In spite oe .11 t.e..,- --- ..-__ . .. _ , _ I have a kind of sleepy consciousness that we changed horses several times during the night, and that an immense deal of time was generally lost in getting out the quadru peds, waking up the yamschiks, and fighting the postmas ters, and a good deal of grumbling took place whenever the purse-bearer was roused up to pay for greasing the wheels, or to give the drivers their na vodka or ma tchai (literally " for brandy" or "for tea")—drink money. With the morn ing light came no very pleasant prospect ; rain still fell at intervals, the country smoked with a kind cf misty dew, and the poor villages of wooden houses by the roadside looked ultra uncomfortable in their environs of thick black mud. The country, however, seemed fertile, and was not destitute of marks of cultivation. The surface lay un ' either side of us in a series of easy undulations, studded with clumps of trees or patches of forest, and marked out into fields by hedges which were preparing themselves by looking as dry, as spiky, and as rough as possible, to do battle with the coming winter. As the day drew on the mujiks issued forth from their huts, and rubbed their eyes as the tarantasso drove past, or with the calm dignity of command superintended the operations of their wives and daughters, who were busied in driving forth the pigs and cattle, drawing water from the wells, or beating up maize and rye in small mortars for the morning meal. Every one has described the mujik, whom we call " serf," but whom. the polite and euphemistic Russian—in order not to hurt one's feelings, possibly—always speaks of a " paysan," and who is, according to his master's account of him, possessed of many most admirable qualities —to wit, faith and charity (but, alas ! no hope), patience, courage, submissiveness, loyalty, and patriotism. Bat they dare not for their lives say that he is honest, intelligent, sober, industrious, truth ful, or moral. The Russian soldiers anti " peasants" have a saying, which is to this effect, " That he who sees drink, food, money, or clothes unguarded, and does not take them, is a fool who ought never to get the chance again and I believe they act very much on that prin ciple. Their faith, indeed, is great, but it would be diffi cult to draw the line which separates it from gross super stition andignorant fanaticism ; their charity is undoubted, and each may well say, " Miser ego miseris succurere disco." As to patience, it is sometimes a forced virtue, imposed on us by the inutility and danger of impatience, and in the Russian it is closely allied to au Oriental fatal ism. His courage is undoubted ; it is connected with his patience, religious faith, and habits of submission, and is quite destitute of brilliancy or dash, In doggedness and indifference to suffering, in the mute endurance of pain, and in fearlessness of death the Russian is coura geous, but in the higher qualities of bravery he is deficient. On his submissiveness rests the whole structure of Russian Government and Russian society, bat I much doubt whether he is loyal, as among no peopl have there been more plots against the Throne, more re volts, more resistance to the Sovereign till the cannon Came in to decide the controversy, on the revival of which he has since kept his eye steadily fixed and very wide open. Granting that he is possessed of patriotism we shall lint!, nevertheless, that it is rarely ever strong enough to resist the voice of avarice, and that his dishonesty is stronger then his love of country. Thus, one unive sal system of plunder and robbery of the national property took place during the late war. None too great—none tot, small to share i n it, and the commission which is now spread over the empire inquiring into the thefts and peculations of public servants, civil and military, is said tobe appalled by the disclosures which have been made, and to hesitate in continuing its labours. In spite of all that reason urges against the Russian and his morals, one cannot help pity ing the poor fellow and magnifying the virtues which he undoubtedly possesses- How much or how many of his vices may arise from his profound ignorance, his hopeless mental 'darkness, the degradation of his position, and the form of governiaient under which he lives, it is im possible for me to say, but their masters claim for them the .‘ good qualiti es, " end too often possession of a span i e l' s give them a spaniel's treatment. Where is the peasant in all broad Russia who dare resent a kick, a knock-nowit blow, a bleeding mouth, or a black eye, received at the hands of the meanest official with a Government but ton on his cap? A complaint to a local magistrate fur such an offence would, I am assure d, be regarded as a proof of some dangerous co ns pi rac y, an d a demon stration of stupendous audacity which would expose the nanlik to suspicion or punishment. However, we shall see and talk more of him as we get on. It is now a quarter to 8 o' c l ock in the morning, and we are entering the town of Serp e . choff, a town of about 7,000 inh ibitents, 93 versts, or 62 miles south of Moscow. The natives ara obviously • influenced by their proximity t o th e anc i en t capital , and have run up an infinity of little churches, with the usual cupolas and spires, all over the town, so that from a distance it looks like a city. I counted more than a dozen edifices of the kind, the clean white steeples and green and gilt cupolas of which presented a marked contrast to the filth profound of the streets. We lumbered along in a toot deep of mud, through straggling wooden houses, now and then interspersed with larger mansions of stone, and, pass ing a small beloi, gored, or white city, a sort of little Kremlin, surrounded with white walls, with battlemented tops, Pulled up at tba inn in a square of some 00 yards broad, which was like a lake of liquid mud, with dunghills rising island-like above the surface. Through this delectable slough there tumbled about, like porpoises in 3 tideway, shoals of the wildest looking pigs, the very aspec t of which was enough to drive into a state of men tal aberration the strongest-minded member of the Smithfield Club. Very tall, long in the leg, and thin in the flank as greyhounds, with huge heads armed with great tusks and garnished with ponderous ears, these ani mals seemed utterly unsuited for the purpose of the hem or bacon producer, and to be valuable only for their bris tles, of which a melee ran down their sharp backs, and a plentiful flock depended from their scraggy sides. There was nothing very pleasant te e regale any of the senses on at our waiter of the house—a white haired, white-eyed, white but not clean faced, round-headed Russian in jackboots, loose Oriental trousers overflowing the tops thereof in festoons of threadbare grey cloth, and a tight tunic which had once been white also, anti which resembled a collarless cotton shirt fastened round the waist by a pocket handkerchief. To be on good terms with your tchelevek in Russia is as important to your comfort as it is for you to be a favourite.of the steward or butler in your club in London. " Tchelevek," or waiter, indeed, you may call him when desiring his services, but when he comes you must, if you expect much attention, address him affectionately as " brat" (brother), or " little brother," otherwise he will keep the literal meaning of his " si' chasse" to the very letter. These two words, which you will hear everywhere in Russia, mean "This hour," like the French tout a l'heure, and colloquially signify " immediately," but, practically, in the mouths of post masters, butlers, and waiters, they may be under stood to be what th sy are, unless you employ copeeks and roubles to give them a different mean ing. Our " little brother" showed us into a small room with one card-table therein, a picture of the Empe ror, another of a battle representing one Cossack capering over the bodies of many Turks, said " si' chasse," shut the door, and left us alone to our meditations for more than half an hour before he returned with the tea urn, and so we looked out of the dirty windows. A small body of cavalry happened to be passing whilst we were waiting, and it was curious to contrast the appearance of these men with that of the brilliant cavaliers we had seen at Moscow. Their thin, bony steeds, with draggled tails and rusty bits, seemed scarcely able to bear their riders, who were laden with bags of brown bread, and sat heavily on their coarse saddles. They were dressed in the grey military greatcoat and wore high and ugly shakoes, covered with oilskin. Their trousers were tucked into their muddy boots, and the metal portions of their arms and dress were foul and discoloured. Like all the Russian cavalry, however, they had teeir long carabines, which were slung behind their backs carefully covered with leather cases; their scabbards are of leather, so as to keep the edge of the blade keen and fit for use. Their appearance caused just as much attention in the town as that of a party of cavalry would nave done in a country town in the united kingdom. After long delay the tea urn made its appearance, and in came with it a dish full of boiled eggs and some fresh white Dread ; the tea was excellent, and so we had a capital breakfast off a very dirty table-cloth, with very jagged knives and quaint forks, served up on a service of coarse Russian blue and white delf, of which the pattern was the most hideously grotesque kind of design in that way that could be fancied. It was nearly 9 o'clock ere we got off again. In fine weather Serpuchoff may look neat and even pretty. Sow, with the streets full of mud and a drizzling rain falling, it was dismal and dirty to behold. It is said to have a good. trade with Moscow and some manu factures, and the waiter told us that there had been many English employed there before the war, and that a few of them were still in the place. However, we did not meet or see any of our countrypeople. At the distance of three miles outside the town, which is built in the wide straight streets, cutting each other at right angles, so much affected by the Russians, flows the river Oka— a fine stream, which is about as broad as the Thames at Rich mond, with high and steep banks. The rivulet on which Serpuchoff is situated flows into the Oka. There is no bridge, but a swinging line of boats or pontoons does duty for one, and the tarantasse crossed over by means of it without any difficulty. The river was full of very long and very narrow boats, all filled with coarse hay. The rain be gan to fall heavily towards noon, and almost hid the coun try from view. The road was crowded for the whole of this journey with disbanded soldiers, dismissed from their ser vice in compliance with the recent ukase ordering the re duction of the late levies which were made in anticipation of a continuance of the struggle. Poor fellows ! theirs seemed to be a hard fate indeed—to travel thousands of versts, footsore and miserable, through the chill autumn and the approaching winter to their cheerless vil lages, and there to resume the occupations and toils of the mu jik, after their gallant and devoted services. They were cla d i n grey old greatcoats, and had been permitted to wear o little their "un itar y caps, trouser s , an d b oo t s . M any of themwere quite fo ot sore, and cre pt a l ong th e mu dd y roads heei leaning n their staves a a v rt e i s es a o n f d a walking-sticks. nty l : a f f o ,y r generallykept in r the sake of society and mutual aid most probably, as.Vl of such parties we passed, probably, ten or twelve every li.our. After a most tedious, u ninterestin g , and weary day of jolt ing, lain, and mud, we arrived at the Russian Bin ning ham, the town of Tula, at 11 .30 p.m. The resolution was carried unanimously. Alderman DOLSON, of Gravesend, moved the third resolution, and, in doing so, said that it was a great error on the part of the L,aislature when they created the Metropolitan Board of forks. Ho was sorry to find the majority of the Metropolitan Board of Works had not consulted men who could have given them advice on the subject, and it Elbowed that they had been called on to do what they were not competent to perform. It was a surd to tax any part of the county of Kent to remove the filth of the metropolis. He moved the appointment of a committee to carry out the objects of the meeting. Alderman DITCEIBI7RN, of Gravesend, seconded the motion, and, i❑ d.,ing so, said he remembered the time when the Thames was so clean that he had seen salmon sporting in it, and leap out of the water to escape the porpoises -pursuing them. He wished to see the river cleansed, and then fishing restored, and he thought the best and most profitable way of doing it would be by saving the sewage for agricultural purposes. Mr. J. S. Rica supported the motion. Dr. ESTE and others having addressed the meeting the motion was agreed to unanimously. A committee was then formed, and a vote of thanks having been accorded to the Chairman, the meeting sepa rated [A .DVERT/Siniarr.]— A few more •f the extraordinary cures without Medicine of I3digertion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency, Co , 4stipatio n , Nervous, Bilious, and Liver complaints, Cough, A‘3thma, Consumption, and Debility effected by )u Barry's d elicious health-restoring Revalenta Arabica F•cal, ore were given : Cure 52,422.

The whole village is in a state of anxiety ; the white population is armed, and I see chil dren who can scarcely carry a gun and cartouche box aiding to swell the number. The cause of all this is a negro conspiracy, and you will know of it long before you receive my letter. " Inasmuch as there will be exaggeration on one side or the other, according to the source whence the news is received, I send you as exact an account as possible. That which I have not seen myself I give on the evi dence of eye witnesses. "Before the only hotel in Dover are assembled ex cited groups of people, and from among them horsemen, with revolver in hand, and rise slung across the back, start off frequently in all directions. Here also meet, from distant places, numerous horsemen, whose animals, c'ivered with foam, bear witness to the rapidity with which they have travelled. In the h o t e l, an d i n two or three neighbouring houses, the greater portion of the wo men and children may be found. Here and there the black servants obey with submission and promptitude the various orders given to them. "A house, guarded by men with bayonet fastened on the gun, encloses nine black pi isoners, who are tbreat ened with execution in a few hours. Nothing will be done with at least five of them, but as to the four others .—the chiefs of the conspiracy—they will in all proba• bility become acquainted with the cord. " We receive on board the judge of Dover and his family, whom he conducts for the moment to another re sidence. " At 4 o'clock we arrived soma miles higher up on the left bank of the Cumberland, at a place called the Cum berland Ironworks. The machine-shop, a dozen houses besides, and a few negro huts are all the habitations in the place. "In a large building near the river some 60 blacks are imprisoned for being connected with the conspiracy. The remainder, on the other hand, are doing submissively their erdinary work. The same thing may be said of all the neighbouring localities. "Tilde for the general aspect. And now as to the causes that have given rise to all this excitement. Its origin is traced to the Presidential campaign. " Much weakened by distance, the echo of the noise made in the North about the name of Fremont has ex tended to the banks of the Cumberland. I's; came in the tack of the steamers which traversed the second tributary of the Ohio, and then found itself in the centre of Ten nessee. To penetrate the most distant villages it had only to pass along the gorges which separate these little iso lated mountains. Whether emissaries (as they affirm here) came or not from the North, it is nevertheless true that there have been certain indications of an approaching re volt. According to some, it was to be general, and would extend to all the Slave States. According to others, it would simply be confined to Kentucky and Tennessee. This latter version appears to me true, and it is already more than necessary to e.cercise an active surveillance. " Nevertheless, nothing of a positive nature had been discovered till about 10 days since, when a negro escaped from the Cumberland Ironworks. He was promptly cap tured, and it was learnt from him that he fled from the persecution of his brethren in servitude, who had threat. ened to kill him if he refused to take part in the conspiracy. The numerius questions to which he was subjected caused the subsequent arrest of nearly 80 negroes, almost all of whom avowed their complicity in a plot, and even gave the most precise details as to the execution of their pro jeet.

The SECRETARY read a statement of accounts from Jan. to Aug,, by which it appeared that the ore sold amounted to about 17,0001., and the balance of assets over liabilities, after payment of a dividend of 1,5101., amounted to 6,3301. Mr. Pryor's report stated that the tribute department throughout the mines continued to yield fine quantities of tin and copper. He expected to sample at the next ticketing about 400 tone of copper ores, and should the present price of tin and copper keep up, hoped to make 8001. to 1,0001. profit two-monthly.
