In order to prevent such charges being preferred against the notes made by me during an excursion of nearly three months' duration in the southern part of Russia I beg at once to state that I do not pretend more than to record what I saw, and that whatever is advanced on hearsay was reported to me by persons of re spectability and character, on whom the responsi bility of these statements must depend ; that I do not venture to offer any philosophic reflections on the habits, institutions, or social condition of the people, or propound any theories con cerning the government and administration of the country, but that simply writing what I believe true on the evidence of my own eye sight or hear ing, I leave to others the task of drawing such conclusions and deductions as they please. The friends whom I have left behind me in Russia must be well aware that I set out from Moscow without any disposition to regard their countrymen and in stitutions with an unfavourable eye, and they must not be offended if my impressions are recorded as they were formed, and are expressed with sincerity and candour. These impressions may be erroneous, but, at all events, they are honest, and I must own that had I gone no further than Moscow I should have had a very different notion of the condition of Russian society from that which I now entertain after a short tour "off the rail." The grand spectacles of the coronation, the glare of the ballroom, the glitter of monster reviews, and all the civilised pomp of Moscow—its French and German shops, its gay equipages, and orderly streets, dazzled and per plexed the judgment. The - Russian post-house, the serf villages, the roads, the soldier on the march, the post-cart, the country town, the hotel —these presented another and a very different aspect of Russian life and manners. One of the objects I had in view in making the journey was to judge, a far as the time and means of observation at my disposal would enable me, of the condition of the country and of the effects of the late war upon the mass of the population ; another was to follow the route of the main body of the Russian reinforcements as they approached the Crimea ; and a third was to get home as speedily as possible by a ne w route, which also afforded oppor tunities of becoming acquainted, superficially indeed but still to some extent accurately, with the physical aspects and social state of a vast tract which few strangers have occasion to traverse, and still fewer think it worth while to describe. In addition to these motives for undertaking, as it proved, a long and not very agreeable journey, au inducement presented itself the force of which moved me power fully, and which I am sure would exercise equal influence with any one who had lived so long with a British army as I had, and who had passed so many months of mingled joy and sorrows in the society of friends whose voices are silent for ever. I wished to revisit our cemeteries and the scattered monuments and resting-places of our noble dead, to see with my own eyes that the Russians had kept their promise, and to ascertain the present state of Sebastopol. The prospect of beholding the plateau on which I had lived for nearly two years with very lit le interruption, and which was the scene of so many events, to be remembered for ever by all who in the smallest degree participated in them ; of going over the old ground once more, of mounting from Balaklava to the front, tracing the lines of the trenches now fast crumbling away, and peering about the city of the dead and its sunken navies, exercised over me a fascination which, if not strange, is certainly indescribable ; and the chance of doing this might, in all proba bility, never come again. And so I decided that I should proceed home by the Crimea and Odessa, for we had reason to believe very confidently that we could find steamers plying between the ports of the former province and the latter city, from which three or four routes to Eng land lay open to the choice of the visitor. The " we" is a pleasant reality, and not a newspaper phrase, for I was fortunate enough to find that my two com panions during the coronation mouth at Moscow were willing and anxious to accompany me and to make the same journey —the one inspired by a de sire to revisit the Crimea, the other actuated by the natural wish of a young Englishman to behold the ground which the brilliant valour and the suf ferings of his countrymen have consecrated to the end of all time. As it would not be possible to procure permission from the police authorities of Moscow for such an expedition, undertaken, as it was, for pleasure, and not business connected with the service of the State, I applied to our Mi nister, Lord Wodehouse, to move the officers of Goverament to assist me, and his lordship, with his usual kindness and courtesy, at once complied with my request, and begged M. Tolstoy, adjoiut of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to give me permissi on to proceed into th Crimea_ Tolstoy, to whom I was personally known, promised to do what was asked of him, and in a few days after the first appli cation forwarded to the Hon. Julian Fane, Secretary of our Embassy, an " office " which he addressed to the Governor of the Crimea in our behalf, and of which we were bearers. It was a formidable looking missive, directed to the "General Major Jokoffsky, Civil Governor of the Crimea," and was about a foot square, with a tre mendous seal full of distorted eagles and cyrillic letters, which is possibly familiar as being the seal of the Russian Foreign-office to a good many of our statesmen. Armed with this, we proceeded to the passport-office, a large barracky-looking build ing, full of clerks, all as busy in describing the eyes, noses, and chins of their fellow-men as Audubon ever was over a rara avis or Cuvier on new bone. In a few days our passports would be ready for Simpheropol, the civil head-clerk told us, and he kept his word. The passports which had been given at the St. Petersburg Chancellerie of the Minister Dolgorouki were taken from us, and iu their place we received documents quite illegible to the general, in which "Alexandra Nicolaevitch, Gosondar and Emperator of All the Russias, in the form of a ukase;" ordered all his subjects to take care of a gentleman with a stout figure, middling nose, eyes, mouth, tire., and to let him go and aid him in going to Simpeeropol. For each of these the charge was about the same as that for our own Foreign-office passport—or a little less. So far we were all right, but the next things to be done was to find out some means of locomo tion. There was a diligence going south to Khar koff, but all the places were engaged in this for many days, and, judging from the company we saw starting in it, and the outward appearance of the vehicle itself, we were !rather pleased than other wise at finding that it would be impossible to get places. It was necessary, therefore, to buy a car riage of some kind, and all our Russian friends said, " By all]meane purchase a tarantasse—don't get a spring carriage, for if anything happens to it on the road you will never get it repaired, whereas any country smith can mend a tarantasse." And so to buy a tarantasse we sallied forth, and visited the quarter of.longebearded coach manufacturers, - whom we discovered to be quite as advanced in their ideas as to the cost of their work, and as to hard bargains, as if they had lived 1 in Long-acre all their lives. A tattantasse to look at is a decent commodious quiet sosteg family eoach, secured on three long perches, so that the body, which is placed amidships, so to speak, is balanced between the fore and hind wheels at sonic distance froria them, owing to the length of these perches. I say to look at, hut to travel in! Ah, when the time comes that horror will be revealed. They are of all shapes, however—like gigs, cahrii • lets, sociables, broughams, watch boxes, SOUR tu reens, all alike springless, and in that absence of springs possessing the occult virtues which recom mend them to Russian travellers. The Moscow Longeecre is a long line of wooden coach sheds of one storey in height, about half a mile from the Kremlin, fronting a branch of the M ,sk'tu river. I; is unusually infested with saints and pigeons. Of the former there is always one in each shed, and s is no wonder that he is generally black and w. inkled from assisting at so much cheating and 1 oguerst as is constantly being practised before his very eyes by his votaries. We were asked invariably a bout a third more than the proper price, except in one in stauce,where the long-bearded proprietordernancled for a tarantasse as much as oue would give for a good secondhand carriage in London. The agonies of bargaining were insupportable to us, hut what I must they have been to our kind freed who tran slated French into Russian and Russian into French for one long hour! And all to no purpose. The longobarbi thought we must give in, and we were determined not to he done, and the contest ended' several days afterwards in our purchasing a taren tasse with room for three inside, two outside, and a dfiver; in a remote part of the city, to which we had I penetrated in search of less extortionate coach-menu fee turers, fo r 501., including alterations and repairs. The next thing was to get an interpreter and servant, I and in this matter another excellent friend, M. de Mouche I off, assisted us by; obtaining from the P. so. a Blaster- Genera l post-offi .e co crier, who was pep* larly believed to speak German and to be versed in other language'''. Our good Walter, however, on presenting himself to us, was found to be rather weak in Teutonic, and to be quite ignorant of any other language but his vernacular. The sight of his uniform, however (a Smart green frock, with black facings and braid on the shoulders), was cal culated te produce a great effect on the postmasters, and so we i ooked on hi m a s a great acquisition, and set him to work at once to get honest. But this was (Front the Sheffield Free Press ) The Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee, at their weekly meeting, on the 23d inst., adopted the fellowing reply to Mr. Cobden's third letter on Maritime Law : "Council Hall, Sheffield, Dec. 23d, 1856. " Sir,—The Sheffield Foreign Affairs Committee have to express their regret that in Bending for publication your reply to their letter to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce you did not also send the letter to which it was a reply. With reference to your declining further dissuasion until the meeting of Parliament, the com mittee have to observe that you yourself raised the dis cussion of the subject by your letter to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Even in this very letter to the committee, not only do you decline discussion after opening it, but you discuss whilst so declining. The subject is one to discuss between man and man, not with reference to any conclusions of Parliament. You refer the committee to your letter to the Bradford Committee. The Sheffield Committee have had no communications on the subject, either with the Bradford or the Newcastle Committees, but they know that both those bodies, like themselves, have been studying the subject ; tbat they are moved by no personal or party considerations, and that a subject like the one under discussion requires both study and impartiality. The committee adopt the statement of the Newcastle Committee, which they subjoin, as the clearest and most suceinct enunciation of the case that they have seen. They also transmit you here .vith the report of the Birmingham Conference, of July, 1855, on the Right of Search, and beg of you to deal with the facts and arguments in the letter, and the report, by pointing out any statements or conclu sions that are erroneous." LETTER OY THE NEWCASTLE COMMITTEE. "' 7 , Suuderland-street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, " Dec. 3, 1856. " To the President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, " Sir,—The letter which Mr. Cobden has addressed to y. u respecting the recent Declaration in regard to Maritime Law claims attention, not only from the posi tion and talents of its author, but also from the gravity of the subject he has brought under your notice. " We, therefore, as citizens of England, offer no apology for addressing you in consideration of such an important public question. "'The silence of Mr. Cobden for so long a time, in reference to the perilous position of this country in case of war, under the operation of the late international de claration, appears inexplicable, when we consider the very 1, gical and able manner in which he has shown the injurious effects it is certain to bring upon the nation. " We entirely agree with Mr. Cobden, that comes quences of the most serious nature must be apprehended by us, unless we escape from the imminent danger of such a departure from our ancient maritime usage • but we di ff er with him respecting the course to b e taken to avoid toe results of the declaration he so ably exposes. We therefore venture to submit to you a few reasons which we hope will induce you to pause before you use your great influence,' as he urged you to do, in estab lishing the practice proposed by the American Govern. ment of exempting from capture private property upon the ocean. " 1. The proposal to make war a duel of Govern ments is, we think, likely to detach the operations of Governments from the interest of the people, and to make war an anomaly, and that to hold private property exempt while national property may be destroyed, will cause wars to become frequent and protracted by limit ing their consequences. " '2. That no distinction of property, be it private or national, ought to be observed in case of war ; and that to spare the one and destroy the other is absurd, imply ing a national responsibility distinct from that of citi zenship. The sparing of enemies' pr perty on land has been always conditional on the submission of the district attached, but sparing it upon the high seas must be con ditional on the submission of the nation. " 3. That, as war is either the most solemn of all duties, or the most wanton of all crimes, involving in either case the sacrifice of human life, to carry it on upon any novel principle of humanity is incompatible with the e , ecution of a judicial sentence, which is the only excuse for a just war. " 4. That, as just wars are undertaken to avert consequences more injurious than war itself, to limit' their effects, or make them lees terrible, would pro.' portionably weaken the sense of justice of the nation, which should make war the last extremity of demand ing reparation and enf,rcing redress. " 5. That, although commerce in the first instance would apparently be less obstructed by the adoption of the proposal of the American Government, yet as com merce depends upon the prosperity of a country, and as the coat of war must fall upon all classes of the commu nity by an increase of taxation, it would ultimately suffer in a greater degree than were the ancient Maritime Laws in operation. " 6. That in permitting enemies' property to go free at sea, England parts with her only means of forcing an enemy's fleet to action, as the experience of the war concluded by the peace of 1856 distinctly shows. Fer it . „was only by her strict blockade of the enemy's ports, and the consequent injury to his finance, that those naval engagements were brought about, in which site so often proved victorious when hostile fleets, for the relief of their trade, gave battle to her blockading force. "' 7. That as the military strength of Great Britain it, not equal to that of the other treat European Powers any future war would therefore be confined, should Mr. Cobden's wishes be carried out, into an exchange of broadsides between English ships and land fortresses, which the great war with Russia has shown to be wholly ineffective. England would have left to her neither military nor naval means of obtaining reparation or re dress, and would be limited either to the expensive, die honourable, and dangerous resort of hiring mercenaries, or of purchasing peace by submitting to wrong. "'These considerations have indueedets to address you on the subject of Mr. Cobden's letter, for while we agree with him, that " the practical effect of the alterations made in the maritime laws at the Paris Conferences, if we go no further, would be in case of war with a naval power to transfer the carrying trade, even of our own ports to neutral bottoms," we do not perceive the benefi cial effects he supposes we would derive from the change he recommends, and that as by the maritim e l aw th e power of England has been established and maintained, we ought not to adopt the prrpssal of which he says "it is impossible to foresee all the consequences of such a revolution in the rules of war, but rather.revert to the I • venerated judgments of our Admiralty Courts," for al though we cannot comprehend the " imperious necessity which caused us to waive our belligerent rights during the late war, we are solemnly convinced that whether we adopt the American proposal or submit to the re cent " declaration," in either case ruin will be brought upon the country.

BETSY.--St. Betsy was wedded to a knight who sailed with Raleigh and brought home tobacco, and the knight smoked. But he thought that St. Betsy, like other fine ladies of the Court, would fain that he should smoke out of doors, nor taint with 'bacoo smoke the tapestry. Whereupon the knight would seek his garden, his orchard, and in any weather smoke sub Jove. Now, it chanced as the knight smoked St. Betsy came to him and said, "My Lord, pray ye, c one into the house ;" and the knight went with St. Betsy, who took him into a newly-cedared room and said, " I pray, my Lord, henceforth smoke here, for is it not a shame that you, who are the foundation and prop of your house, should have no place to put your head into and smoke ?" And St. Betsy led him to a chair, and with her own fingers filled him a pipe ; and from that time the knight sat in the cedar Chamber and smoked his weed. ST.

A. sad thing, and to be lamented that the secret has come down to so few. ST. PHCEIR.—St. Pbcebe was married early to a wilful but withal a good-hearted husband. He was a mereiant, and would corns home sour and sullen from 'Change- Whereupon, after much pondering, St. Iliaebe in her pa -1 7,242 13,414 7,780 13,740 4,050 30,44$ BIRTHS• OP A DAUGHTSE.
