The Fumes urn PEINCEBS LOUIS or Him.—
Her Majesty has been planed to signify her iatention of
conferring the rank of his Royal Highness on Prince Louis
of Huse. The royal pair intend to reside chiefly at Frog-
more and Clareoce-house, St. James's, which the Queen his
placed at their disposal. They will thin be enabled to
assist in filling up the blank in the royal cirrie which the
nation has not ceased to deplore, and to co-operate in
armaging the great grief which ea yet "knows no retiring
ebb." The young prince comes of an excellent stock—that
of Hesse Darmstadt, not of Electoral Hesse—and has been
brought up with the care and propriety befitting his pros-
pect', which, although not the highest regal rank, are yet
sufficiently elevated and responsible. He is the nephew,
and probable future heir of the reigning duke. in the
interim, before his accession to the honours of his house, he
will dwell chiefly in England, where the princess will still
continue to receive the respectful affection of the people,
and contribute largely to the happiness of the royal circle,
of which she is the ornament and pride.—Observer.

RUSSIA.
We flad from the fit. Petersburg }orals that
the Russian government is weighing very heavily
upon the press, many newspapers and periodicals,
including even literary reviews, having been sud-
denly suspended.
The Journal de St. Pekrabourg contains • long
article on the subject of the fires. It points to the
universal indignation which thespectacleof the fires
created, as a proof that they did not originate in
any popular feeling. The evidence at present
(says this journal) rather points to ordinary
criminals than to political offenders as the
incendiaries. Nevertheless, the inquiries show that
revolutionary proclamations have been imported in
immense quantities, and have been secretly distri-
buted in private houses and in the streets ; and it is
possible that they have had some influence in cor-
rupting the public mind. The journal then gocs
on to deny that the Emperor will abandon the im-
portant reforms which he had commenced.

The reforms undertaken by his Majesty are (it says) die-
teted by a judicious appreciation of the wants of the °pan-
try se remeled by experieoce. We seek in vain to find
anything that should be affected by the criminal attempts of
' malefactors. The law will severely punish the guilty, if
there are any; but its necessary rigour will not for an instant
inputs the patriotic task to which the Emperor ban devoted
himself —that of harmonising the internal organisation
of the empire with the moral and materiel waste
of Itassiaa society. On the contrary, it may be
said that the natural result of the late incident, has belie to
fortify sod Moreno the mutual confidence of 'the soeeteign
and the country. Public indigestion had done justice to
these savage attempts even before the law interfered. Is
taking energetic measures the authorities have hat respon-
ded to a general cry.

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the bwitipendanee
Beige, dated the 29th of June, gives the following
__ _

account of the attempted

of General

Udell; :

The day before yesterday, that is to say the 27th of
June, in • public Arden where mineral waters are drunk
at Wanaw, Goland Count Laden woo fired at by •
person who raddealy emerged from behind a tree. The
bullet adored the back of the General's neck, and cams oat
at the right side of his mouth, smuhing the jaw. The
wound, though • dangerous one, does not own-
promise the We of the General, who immediately re-
ceived the but magical aaaistence. The uremia made
his escape. A few days previously General Loden had re-
ceived an anonymous and threakaing letter, informing bim
that his death and the death of other high functionaries at
Warsaw bee bees decided upon. The second victim desig-
nated is Lieut-Geaeral Kryjanowsky, Wllitary Goveroor-
General of Warsaw. The General was at St Petersburg,
having berm east for by the Emperor, but ori the news of
the ►ttemmpt upon General Leiden, the Emperor immediately
ordered him to return to hie post, which he did the follow-
ing day by railway.
