The Emperor of Russia is expected st Berlin in
April or May. His Ksjerty will join the Empress at Nice,
sad consult some eminent physicians on the health of his
sun sod heir. It is presumed in Prussia that the Comm
witch will be moomosended to spend another winter in a
southern climate.

At some races at Rome the other day, the start
having been pronounced fable by the judges, the velvet flag
and the first and second prizes in money were all awarded
to St. Apiary, an ancient privilege accorded to the patron
saint of animals is general, and especially devoted to the
monks of St. Matey, who, is the (*avast grounds behind
the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, have a iroi t of hospital
meadow, in which they receive all sick or superatenated
horses, who are sent there by charitable owners, instead of
going to the knackers. Sometimes one of them animals
recovers sufficiently to do a little more work, in which saes
he is sold for the benefit of the convent, or for that of his
invalid brethren who remain behind. At any rate it is the
rule that when the start is disputed the prizes are Woos-
tinently awarded to St. Antony.
A commissionaire has just aied in Paris who
might have been seen not many days since standing at the 11
corner of • street ready to execute any commission entreated
to hint. It is said he amassed, during a long life, a largo
fortune by great economy, and that he died worth 10,0001.
in government securities, and 6,0001. in railway bonds. A
grocer's assistant and two Savoyard' are his heirs. The
three on the occasion of inheriting this fortune resolved to
indulge themselves with • dinner, and they repaired to •
miserable eating-house in the Butte St. Rock, where they
spent 11 sous each !
A private letter from Paris states that at a masked
brill the ether night, three men personating Julius Qatar,
Charlemagne, and Napolees L respectively, were walking
arm in arm amidst roan of laughter. Crew was dressed
like an ancient Roman exquisite, and scratched his head
with his finger. When the crowd interrupted their move-
ments the great Roman rebuked them with humorous
gravity by "eying, "Happy the people who understand
and obey us ; woe to those who disregard and oppose us."
THB CARNIVAL AT Rows—At the beginning of
last week it was rather slow, in consequent* of the bitter
cold wind, but oe Wedoesdiy, Saturday, and yesterday we
had at least the shadow of the "good old times." Without
the mask, which was not permitted, there cannot, indeed,
be a good carnival, as the people cannot intriguer one an-
other, to use their own term, but of spectacle and riotous
fun there has been enough. The houses were gaily dream&
and the balconies and windows crowded with fair comb taste,
Those of one house, belonging to Mr. Storre,a recent valuable
aceesnion to the Roman catholic church, displayed the Papal
colours. The ex-King of Naples, the Queen, the Comte
of Trapani, and, indeed, all the royal family, distinguished
themselves by their prowess almost se mach as at Gaeta.
One of the most brilliant cart, drawn by four bones, was
that of the Countess Trapani, her family, and suite. That
of the Spanish Legation was very brilliant. consisting of two
elegem, • full band being placed in the **der one. This, too,
was drawn by four horses. The French, too, had theirs.
The Bersaglieri, • good political hit, had another. In one
ear all the occupants were dressed in green ribande, the
Italian oolour ; and is several ingenious devices were
to evade the jealous vigilance of the police, tome
opted
oompaots being drafted is green, others in red, and
others in white, the displaying the tricolour without com-
lsg
the individual. Not more than two carriages
ed the papal colours—a wonderful falling off from
last year ; bat can sod carriages there were in great num-
bers, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians,
who joined in the fun as eagerly as those who
were mounted, each with his basket of missiles
fa bead or bag thrown over his shoulder. Judge
what • cloud hung over the Corso when 10,000 lb. of confetti
and flour wee said to have bees thrown from the royal ba-
rmy, and ia prop:Ake as much from every private balmily.
As to the bouquets, many were gorgeous, and the weeder is
hew within the sombre walls of old Rome snob a show
could be produced. Incident' there have bees few ; ens
we dressed as a brigand stopped under the balcony of the
ex-King, presented arms, went through his military exer-
cises, saluted, and west ff, though not without having been
clutched by • gendarme- As he was • Frenchman be was let
off oe giving his rams. The coachroan, too, of an English lady
bed his bat cut through by a pontifical gendarme. A complaint
was made made to the Preach commandant of the Piazza,
and an assurance was given that the man should be dis-
charged. Yesterday two Englishmen were arrested, and
the entire British community was is movement, but
towards the evening they were liberated. The cause of the
arrest seems, however, to have been a little over-excitement
produced by • contest to obtain the bouquet of • fair lady.
With the exosplios of these comparative trifles the careival
has passed off so far ionooentlyt and with great good nature,
it being undeniably the best since 1859, and a proof of the
great inflow* which the °mita° examines over the
