EXPENSE ON THE RUSSIAN NAVY.—The expense of sup porting the Russian navy scarcely ever exceedX twenty-five millions of roubles. The pay of the officers is in extremely low, that the government make them a handsome alloWance in the shape of table-money. The pay of the sailor is about half a-Crbwn a month, arid their rations are on a most economical scale; when afloat, they receive daily a pound and a half of biscuit, and a glass of brandy. They receive further, once a month, fourteen pounds of salt beef, five pounds of butter, three pounds of pease, twelve pounds of oatmeal, and one pound and a half of salt, and their ordinary beverage is a fer mented liquor called quass. The discipline of the Russian service is extremely severe. All the crews are organized like the military, and are well drilled in the evolutions of infantry; thus the crew of a Russian man-of-war, on her return from a foreign station, is never paid off, and sent adrift, as with us; but, on their ship being laid up, they land, and do duty on shore in the arsenals, as marines.. In general, the officers are more scientific th an practical, though we must allow that some of the ships of Count ileyden's squadron, in the Mediter ranean, are manceuvered with a celerity equal to our own. The two admi ra lti es , o ne o f which is at St. Petersburgh, and ' the other at Nikolaey, direct all the operations of the fleets of the Baltic and Black Sea. The principal dock-yards are at Okhta, Kroustadt, Kherson, Archangel, and Voronega. There are eleven hospitals and lazarettos, for the reception of ifivalidss At St. Petersburg there is a naval college for cadets, and at Kronstadt another for pilots. Two similar establishments are to be found at Nikolaey, and also a school of naval architecture andnavigation, besides which, in various parts of the.empire, there are several other institutions for the education of sailors' children.—Naittical Magazine.

PRICE 7d. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, AN Association of person s , s tyli ng t h emse l ves the Al t Slavery Society, are en d eavout i ag to dicta t e to yo u manner which is quite inconsistent with the freedom of Eke- Lion for a reformed Parliament. They presume to publish lists, pointing out the Candidates you ought to choose, i/e -nouncing others as unworthy of your confidence; and hold out the terrors of Schedules A and B against all such Ihall venture to appear before you without a pass from their society. No matter how well qualified the Candidate may be in point of general information, attachment to your local in , terests, or acknowledged liberality of character ; he is to 'be cast aside as wholly undeserving of your support, unless he gill prostitute his independence of opinion by giving a blind pledge to vote without inquiry, for the immediate unconditioi;rd ex tinction of Colonial Slavery. It follows of course, that if this dictation be submitted to, the first use you will have to make of your extended privileges 4.4 Englishmen, must be not only to exclude from Parinan ent every person connected • with, or inclined to protect, the in terests • of a, huge class of your fellow subjects who have 'l, O direct Representatives in the Legislature, but even so far as in you lies, to assist in confiscating their property. Fellow Countrymen, suffer not yourselves to be made !the tools of a party, however numerous they may be, or howe'ver plausible their object. Be content with selecting honest men for your Representatives, who will merely pledge themselves to look at the difficult question of Slavery in its only rational light; viz. as a system long established, encouraged, and in deed originally enforced by the British f.4overnment in cue Colonies, which is to be exchanged for a better so soon as may be compatible with the real welt= of the black population, and with the rights of private property. Consider for a moment how little yoti can hitherto stand the details of a system which, objectionable as may be : has formed the frame-work of Colonial society r centuries past, and therefore how incapable you must of instructing your Representatives on such a ;subject, or .ey, if they be honest men, of binding themselves to • course of conduct respecting it• Are you : aware that u to this moment the •Negroes have been accustomed to depend wholly on their masters for home, food, clothing, for every thing necessary to the support of existence from its commencement to its close ? and have the Anti-Slavery Society been able to satisfy you that in the present moral condition of the blacks, this habit of dependence could be suddenly and safely t - changed for a system of free labour; in short, that the Negroes are at this moment disposed to support themselves and maintain the staple cultivation of the Colonies, as a tiee peasantry ? So tar trorn having satisfied you, it would appear that the Society them selves have some misgivings on this important point; for they do not seem disposed to let you wait the final result of two Parliamentary Committees, which are collecting evidence as to the Negro's actual progress towards civilization : nay, they have even had the assurance to stigmatize as a " profligate ex penditure of public money" the lean lately made by Parlia ment for the express purpose of enabling certain Jamai ca planters to resume cultivation on their dilapidated estates, which had heretofore furnished the means of supporting their Negroes ; thus plainly evincing that the boon which the So ciety expect you to confer upon the emancipated blacks, is not that of profitable industry, but idleness. If you will be content to wait the result of Parliamentary in.. vestigation, the actual condition of the black population will then, for the first time, be before you. Should it turn out that they are still incapable of appreciating the benefits of industry, looking to freedom only as to a state of luxurious inactivity, then immediate emancipation would be to them what it has been to the blacks of St. Domingo, a bitter curer, commencing in bloodshed, and ending in compulsory labour, enforced by the drum and the bayonet. Freedom to the Negroes under such circumstances would necessarily be the destruction of all profitable cultivation in our Colonies ; the sacrifice of a trade which now consumes five millions worth of our manufactures, and employs one-fourth of our whole mercantile marine, and a direct bribe held out to induce foreign nations to continue the Slave Trade with all its horrors. But if, on the other hand, it. should appear that the Negroes have advanced in moral charac ter, hare acquired property, and are even approaching a state of fitness for receiving the previleges of industrious free citizens, then what will become of all, the abuse which has been heaped upon the head of the calumniated and nearly ruined British planter? and how unnecessary will it be that you should add to his embarrassment, by precipitating measures which must in evitably produce destruction and bloodshed, unless they are conducted with the greatest circumspection. The difference of f ee li ng between the planters and yourselves relates only to the time and manner of terminating slavery ; 41 good men must lament that such a system should have been established and encouraged by a British legislature : and f considered as a national crime, it can only be expiated by the nation giving freedom to, the slave as soon as he may be found capable of making a rational use of that blessing. But, fellow countrymen, do not suffer the Anti-Slavery Society to cajole you into the fatal belief, that the favor of Heaven will attend this natioral atonement, if it be made at the sole ex pense of the unfortunate British planter. The specious prin_ ciple which has been recently promulgated for the sake of covering injustice, viz, that " man cannot claim property in the person of his fellow man," may he applicable enough as between the slave and the people of Great Britain ; hut it can never invalidate the claim of the planter to due compensation for the loss he may sustain, or the risk he may incur by the abrogation of those laws under which he was encouraged to purchase slaves from British subjectS,brought to him in British vessels, and the profits resulting fi:orn which traffic at this mo ment constitute a part of the individual and, collective wealth of the Mother country. It would be idle to expect tl escape from their full share of t frame of society is to be kept to people to assist in making laa but every hOnest judge and six you introduce the precedent o: private rights for what may b( that principle will draw after it species of individual property: G.
