IN the course of the past week an intelligent
correspondent inquired very pertinently in the
columns of the IhWy N-ice bow it came about
that the bonds of the Orel and Vitebsk Rail-
way, which are formally guaranteed by the
Russian Government, are quoted only at
seventy-five ; whereas ordinary Russian stock
stands at eighty-six. The correspondent very
reasonably observed with respect to this singu-
lar fact, that under ordinary circumstances the
railway loan ought to command the higher price
of the two, because there is nut only the Govern-
ment guarantee, but also the security of the rail-
way itself in addition.
Another correspondent returned an unconscious
answer to the inquirypreceding his own communica-
tion. It is a response at once so important to Bri-
tish capitalists, and so certain to have its due effect
upon Russian securities generally, that both of the
correspondents have done good service by calling
serious public attention to it. It appears from
the second of the letters above-mentioned that, un-
fortunately for the credulous and long-tried British
shareholder, there exists an enterprise called the
" City of Moscow Gas Company." Of course the
wildest promises were freely made to all who could
be thereby persuaded to take a part in this distant
and speculative affair. Equally of course the
hopes entertained in consequence have been, as
anyone acquainted with Russia might have fore-
seen, signally and utterly disappointed. It appears
that a dividend of no loss than sixteen per cent.
was considered among the most certain of the
inunediate advantages which subscribers were
induced to believe would be paid upon their
money, and the investment held out still better
prospects, which need not be here discussed. The
fact wo have to deal with is merely that it seems
no dividend is being now paid at all. All British
commercial speculations in Russia have hitherto
began and ended in the same way. Statements
of the most astounding character have been made
to all who would listen to them, and when the
speculator was once enticed into the net he has
been not only duped bnt bullied. Redress is
hopeless. There is no redress for local misgovern-
ment in Russia but public exposure of it in English
newspapers. The Emperor of Russia, who is still
an absolute Sovereign, is in the main an upright
ruler; and he well knows that it is important for
Russian securities to make a respectable figure
on the London Stock Exchange, which is the
great money market of the world. The Chan-
cellor of the Empire, Prince GORTSCHAKOVE, is also
a minister of honour and integrity. When-
ever abuses are brought plainly before the
CZAR or the Minister, and temperately discussed,
redress is made easy and probable. But there is
only one way to reach them, and that is through
the fearless voice of the British press. The whole
empire is eaten up with the plague of Tchinovuiks,
or official people ; and they are shamelessly and
openly corrupt, from the governors who preside as
irresponsible entraps over vast provinces, to the
venal and hungary secretaries who prowl about
their back stairs and ante-rooms. Infamous and
haughty as are the provincial heads of depart.
ments, they are far eclipsed by their subordinates,
who arc merely so many insolent mendicants, dan-
gerous if their rapacity is not satisfied, and utterly
unscrupulous as to the means which they adopt of
making their displeasure felt. Thus in Russia,
as in some other countries, every detail of
administration is confided to men of confused
intelligence as to right and wrong ;
but who have grown so old in office
that they are acquainted with every device
and subterfuge by which they can render them-
selves powerful and feared. Practically the
Russian Empire is ruled by this dreary tyranny of
small clerks. No one knows this better than the
EMPEROR and his Prime Minister. Whatever
may have been their political faults and shortcom-
ings, judged by the liberal and advanced princip'ea
which guide public opinion in Western Europe,
it is due to them to state that from the beginning
of the present reign they have discountenanced
the public robbers who prey like a host of locusts
upon the fairest promise of the land. The misfor-
tune is that they can do so little. The small clerks
have a cunning of their own such as to surprise
all men who have to deal with them. They
disappear with the first note of danger. It is im-
possible to get at them. They hide behind the
very chiefs they have misled and deceived, and
their disgusted principals are often obliged to em-
ploy all their eloquence, fame, experience to
defend dishonest dolts who have disgraced the
dignity and repute of some principal department
of State. The ramifications of the mischievous,
vexatious power of these clerks are quite sur-
prising. They are so banded and leagued together
among themselves that they have a peculiar official
language and code of signals, which they use to
torment any minister bold enough to question
their doings, and to frustrate his plans. The
endless maze of papers and documents in which
public business is inextricably involved, and
the slow and tedious form of procedure in
every case, furnish them with terrible
weapons of defence, however resolutely called

The TeleonvA suggests th—at Tortola may possibly have
perished by some volcanic uphesving. The sinking of the
sea-base of the island so much as 50 feet into the ocean would
probably destroy life enough to justify the telegram ; and
this may turn out to be the actual nature of the catas-
trophe. In that case the colonist negroes upon the bill
sides and along the upper part of the valley, with some
few, perhaps of the harbour people, would have escaped;
but the wholesale disappearanoe of the spot is almost as
possible. In our day, and as near at hand as the Grecian
seas, we have seen how an island can be suddenly created.
At Santorin, off the coast of Sicily. ono disappeared not
long ago, and the tropical waters where the powers of
nature are fiercest and moat restless exhibit inch pheno-
mena far more frequently.

The most remarkable incident of the Lisbon catastrophe,
observes the Star, was one which exactly corresponded
with the occurrence on which we are all now intent. The
sea first r,n out, leaving the harbour and even the bar
exposed and dry. Then it rushed impetuously in, rising
fifty feet higher than its wonted level. The mountains
adjacent were shaken and split ; the buildings composing
a great part of the city fell with one shock. But what
moat impressed the imagination of that ago was the fear-
ful subsidence of a great marble quay. Upon it crowds,
fleeing from their homes and from their churches—which
wen crowded and illuminated, for it was a great festival
day—ha I thronged for safety, when suddenly it sank
beneath the waves.

IR TOPIC&

The Daily News gives some account of the financial diffi-
culties of the Papal government. The blankets who
negotiated the last loan are already reminding probable
investors that something more than a third of that loan
remains yet to be taken up. Three years ago the Pope
owed 20,000,0001., and was unable to pay the interest. If
Cardinal Antonelli can discover a capitalist so devoted to
the temporal power as to make advances without the
remotest probability of obtaining a farthing's interest, no
doubt the Roman question will be solved. Otherwise the
only resource to which the court of Rome can appeal is the
tax on pauperitm and ignorance, which is designated
" Peter's pence." The total result of five years' collection
of Peter's pence, contribute I by those 200,000,000 of
catholics of whom we hear so much, is something less
than 91..5. head annually.

The Queen (says the Court Jourdat) has taken
her daily carriage and walking exercise during the week,
frequently breakfasting ►t Frogmore at an early hour. Her
Majesty will leave Windsor Castle for Osborne about a
fortnight before Christmas, probably on the 16th Decem-
ber, after paying her annual visit with the Royal Family
to the tomb of tho late Prince Consort on the 14th, the
anniversary of Lis death. It was remarked that the air of
Windsor must have bad a very beneficial effect on the
Princess of Wales during her short visit there, as on leav-
ing her Royal Highness walked from the Queen's private
waiting-room to the saloon carriage of the railway with
much greater ease, and was looking a great deal better
than on her arrival.

LAW IN TELLIGEIi CE.
(THIS DAL)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE.
Sittings in Binco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and
Justices Mellor, Shoe, and Lush.)
Tf!C QCEIT NELbON.
. _ _

In this ease a rule nisi had been obtained for a quo
warranto calling upon Mr. Nelson to show cause by what
authority be exercised the office of Registrar of the City
County Court. The applicant, Mr. Osgood, was registrar,
and Mr. Aikman was bailiff of the court. Some disputes
arose between them as to who should hand the surrenders
and documents to the judge of the court, which led
to unpleasantness, and in consequence an inquiry
took place before a committee of the Court of
Common Council, and upon their report the Court
of Common Council proceeded to remove both from
their offices. The parties were heard, and evidence
taken before the committee, but not before the Common
Council, and that point was taken by counsel before the
court, that it was necessary that any charges made against
him should be substantiated by evidence before the court.
A member of the court then proposed to inquire of the
recorder and common serjeant whether that were so ; but
the question was not put, and the court thereupon re-
moved Mr. Osgood, and appointed Mr. Nelson, the City
solicitor, temporarily to fill the office. The applicant had
made an affidavit that no charge bad been made or proved
against him of misbehaviour, or incapacity, or neglect, or
any reasonable cause for his removal. The appellant
further claimed that it was a freehold office. _ _

Mr. Mellish, (.C., and Mr. Archbold appeared to•day
for the corporation, to show cause against the rule; Mr.
M. Chambers, Q.C, Mr. Serjeant Atkinson, and Mr.
Prentice appeared in support of the rule.
It appeared at the commencement of the case that there
were so many important matters of fact in dispute upon
the affidavits, that it would be impoasible to decide the
case upon them, whereupon
The Lord Chief Justice suggested, and, after some discus-
sion, it was adopted by the learned counsel, that the rule
for the quo warrant° should stand over; that a writ should
issue for money had and received, which should be turned
into a special case, the disputed facts to be ascertained b
a member of the bar, and that the decision on the special
case should be taken and entered on the judgment of the
court on the quo warranto. That course would allow
either party to go into error.
