RUSSIA AND CHINA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 18th, in the
Nests, says :

It is well (mown that Admiral Putlatine, who commands
the Read= squadron in China, had received positive in-
stradions to observe the greatest circumspection and to
aorehlly avoid everything which might disturb the friendly
relations which, for the last two centuries, Roads hes kept
up at Pekin through the medium of the ecclesiastical mission
in that capital. Notwithstanding all the diplomatic skill
and seedestee displayed by the admiral he has not been
able to pat himself in relation with the Court of Pekin, as
the mandarin at Shanghai positively refused to allow him
or any of his officers to land. The admiral, therefore, re-
turned with his frigate to .Hong Kong, where he observes
the spiciest neutrality, watching the proceedings of the
Pm& end English in China. It was at first difficult to
account for this change is the feelings of the Chinese,
but the last dispatches from the admiral clear up the
mystery by stating that the jealousy of the mandarins has
bum maned by the uffiltary and naval establishments of the
Russians an the Amour, and that the Chinese Intended to
adopt hostile emesures In consequence. It wee probably
with a view to devastate the Road= establishmente on the
Amara that the mandarin who commands the two great pro-
visoes in the north of China has suddenly attacked the Rus-
sian advanced posts, and oompelied them to make a retreat in
wee than thirty league along the banks of the river, and
band or destroyed all the establishments. It appears that
this attack of the Chimes is to be attributed to the attempts
made by the comma: dents of the advanced posts to take pop
Norton of an extent of 2,000 squire leagues of forests and
plains which the Russians are desirous of annexing to their
pommies..

SWEDEN.

A ministerial crisis appears to be imminent in
Sweden. According to the Svenska-T4iising, three
ministers, MM. Gunther, Lagerheim, and Momer,
us on the point of tendering their resignation ;
according to other accounts, seven members of the
cabinet will retire, leaving only three. The

... _
same journal announces that M. Manderstromn,
Swedish ambassador at Paris, has been chosen a
Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is this eminent
statesman who will take the principal part in the
formation of the new cabinet.

PIEDMONT.

Arrests continue to be made in Genoa in the fear
of a republican plot. The Corriire Mercantile of
February 24 says:—"The Mann continues. All
the troops are confined to barracks, and were under
arms ready to tarn out daring a great part of last
night. We hear that in the interior of the port the
guns were prepared for firing, and the war steamers
were all ready to weigh anchor."

Mr. Gifford opened the case in a temperate speech. The
were sailors on board the Penelope, in Swansea

cook had received IMMO money from hie captain on the Sun-
day before the murder, and amongst it woe two Tarldah so-
vereigne. On the night of the murder the deceased left his
vessel and went into the town. Soon afterwards the two
prisoners also left, and they would be traced in
company of the deceased up to within a sheet
period of the actual murder. At about helf.past
eight two persons watching a boat heard a scu

sad immediately afterwards a plunge on the water. They
went up and found something floating in the water, which
tamed out to be the body of the deceased. It was got oat of
the water and was steaming. He was dead and bad been

♦ ROYAL RIBIDENCII.

It has been beton; stated that on the accession of Frederic
William, the great Elector, in 1640, he found his territory
devastated by the swages of hostile troops, and its resources
drained by the tserflie 30 years' war ; his capital in ruins,
the greater part of the homes, whirl were built of wood,
abandoned for the want of inhabitants; the population de-
creased to between six and seven thousand ; the streets nu
paved, the bridges out of repair; public buildings there were
few or none. The remaining inhabitants gained a livelihood
by keeping and fattening cattle, the state of the street' may
therefore be more molly imagined than described. Bdore
the door of each house were uncleaneed stables, tainting the
air with the most intolerable effluvia. Like Paris, In the
time when the eldest son of Louis le Gros met his de=
Fig's running between his hc:.e's legs, the streets s
with these animal*, and were imputable from the accumula-
tions of filth and refuse caused by them ; and even so lets as
the year 1671, a decree was passed ordaining that every per
who came to market should, on his return, carry away
with him a cart-load of these abominations; and the law for-
bidding the citizens, any longerto feed or fatten cattle within the
precincts of the town was not passed until ten years later.
Under the roof of the electoral palace were comprised, not
only the mint, and the courts of jusioe, but also the
prisons, and even the place of execution, until, in 1648, the
Elector exeremed his determination no longer to have
pawners within the walla that sheltered himself sad badly.

A Narrative of the Mission sent by the Gover-
nor-General of India to the Court of Ava,
in 1555, with Notices of the Country, Government,
and People. By Captain HENRY Yins. London :
Smith, Elder, and Co.
A year and a ball after the termination of the last
Burmese war the present King of Ava sent a mission
of compliment with presents to the then Governor-
General of India, Lord Dalhousie. His lordship
returned the compliment. Msjor Arthur Phayre,
the de facto governor of the new province of Pegu,
was sent as envoy. Captain Yule attended the
party as secretary, and he was given to under-
stand that one of the chief duties of the office would
be a preparation of a narrative of the mission for
publication. The mission failed as far as practical
results were concerned. The King of Burmah was
deaf to all the envoy's solicitations to sign a treaty ;
but Captain Yule collected together all the informa-
tion he could as to the country, and government, and
people ; and the result is the magnificently ilui.
Mated work whose title we have given above, and
which wo now commend to the patronage of the
public.
The mission party sailed from Rangoon on the lit
of August, 1835, and were met upon their way by a
deputation from the Court. As they voyaged up
the Irawadi they visited

Review.

Lord Derby has in every point of importance
accepted the measures of the late administration, and it
becomes evident that the two great parties are become
constitutional critics rather than constitutional opponents
of each other's policy. Personal ties, not political
convictions, us now the bond of the two great
sections in the state, and, as an inevitable result, the exclu-
siveness of those ties must soon be rel►xed. If Lord Derby
is to retain office long, it must be as the premier of
a liberal administration; but as soon as Lord Derby's
administration is recognised by the country as liberal,
England will assuredly not be willing to loss the help of its
ablest statesmen merely to gratify the personal predilec-
tions of a knot of friends. The theory of a change of
cabinet has always been, that where principles of govern-
ment are different, statesmen cannot act together; but if
it be found that Lord Derby can carry on, without any
break, the policy of Lord Palmerston, the theory will be
changed. We should then only have to sort men who bold
substantially the same principles, into two classes of admi-
nistrators and critics—to remand those to the opposition
benches who out serve the country beet by their pronounced
faculty for fault-lading—and to recall those to the minis-
terial beeches who serve the country bast ►y a pronounced
faculty for organising. It is scarcely doubtful that, in case
of such a restitution*. It would be found needful to recruit
the opposition benches by securing them the critical aid of the
most eminent mambos of the present goverumsat, and to
recruit the ministerial benches by bringing back to them the
administrative ability of the most eminent members of the re-
sent opposition.— Eassornia.

The plateau on which the principal wells are elluated is an
irregular tabk with a gently rising surface, forming a sort of
peal nsula among the ravines.
The wells are frequent along its up surface, aid on the
sides and spurs of the ravines which bound it on the north

but of these some are exhausted or not worked. The depth
of the wells appeared to vary in tolerable proportion with
the height of the well-month above the river level ; but an
inspection of the lowest enabled us to ascertain that all were
sank a good deal below the level of the ravine bottoms which
bounded the plateau. Those that we measured on thectii
of the plateau were 190 feet, 190 feet, and 270 feet in
to the oil, One was raid to be 20 cubits deeper than
last, which would give a depth of about 306 feet.
The oil appears to be found in a stratum of impure ligaita,
with a good deal of sulphur. In one of the valleys we saw •
stratum of this oat-cropping, with the oil oozing between the II
lamina,. The oil itself looks like thin treacle, of a greenish
colour, and the smell is not =pleasant in the open air and in
moderate strength.
The next point of interest on the journey was
Payan, at which the mission rested four days, and
were allowed to inspect minutely the ruined temples
and remains for which this place, the ancient capi-
tal of Burmab, is so celebrated. The ruins extend
over a space of about eight miles in length along the
river, and probably averaging two miles in breadth,
and Captain Yule guesses the number of the temples
at not less than 800 or perhaps 1,000. The descrip-
tion of the various ruins, or rather of such of them
as the party had time to examine, is very interesting.
In one month after their departure from Rangoon
the mission reached Arnarapoora, the present capital,
containing a population, as is estimated, of about
90,000 inhabitants. The streets are very wide, and
in dry weather tolerably clean, but from the absence
of drainage they become deep in mire in the wet
weather. Here the mission remained for seven
weeks, treated with much respect, and having not
infrequent interviews with the Bing and chief ofli-
cue of state and members of the royal family, but
otherwise isolated from the mass of the people, who

GENERAL BEDEAU AND THE FRENCH

EMPEROR.

The Independance Beige of yesterday evening
publishes the following letter from General Beduin :

Sir,—l have read In your number of the id of March,
mid in your correspondence from Paris of the 2nd, evening
edition, that a deems authorises Generals Chartgarnier and
Bedesu to return to Prance. In thus describing the mea•ttre
Oaken in our case, an error is made which it is u well to
rectify.

" 111 1852 and 1853 t►e French government, wishing to
authorise the return of several members of the Legislative
Assembly thought that a decree was neccarry to annul a
decree of exile. The Ifondeur of the Ist of March, 1868,
does not contain • decree; but a simple authorisation ad-
ministratively revocable. This authorisation, made public
at a moment in which the government deprives a great
number of Frenchmen of the most ordinary guarantees of
Jude., has evidently for its object to divert public opinion.
I have no wish to lend myself to such • design. I re-
member, moreover, that in order to arrest me six year' ago,
they pretended to accuse me of a plot against the safely of
the date, and the dep6t of military store.' However
stress' my dears to return to France, I most before all in
tide mane protest on behalf of law against arbitrary
measures.—Receive, air, &c.

TEE POLICY OF TEE NEW CABINET.

A government that fears to resist any popular cry
whatsoever, for fear of forfeiting its character or losing Its place,
would in a few years be the ruin of the *pantry. We now re-
quirestateamten whose antecedents Justify them in a deliberate
and regulative policy, while their dispositions guarantee •
generous and enlightened creed. We fully believe that the
intelligent classes of this country are alive to the evils of
precipitate change, and have begun to recognise the profound
truth of the poetic maxim that "raw Mate is the half-sieter
of delay." All that they now require from their rulers is
en sernrance that they are sincere in their professions of
reform. This given, they are too prosperous to be In •
hurry for crude measures. Like rich men they can afford
to wait. And under the circumstances we cannot doubt
that the government best adapted to the occasion is one in
which liberal minds sre united with conmery alive opinions.—
Press.

The policy of the Derby government is an adop-
tion, with jolt difference enough to swear by, of the measures
of their predecessors, including, we fear, Mr. Vernon
Smith's India Bill. The answer to Count Walowaki, which,
'tier the vote on Mr. Milner Gibson's amendment, it was
easy to write, has probably by this time been written.
Questions of principle—such as &location, the Jew Bill,
and Church-rates—are to be open qucetions. Parliamentary
reform is allowed to "loom "—an injudicious arrangement,
which will not secure the forbearance of reformers, and will
yet alum the enemies of reform. And so, in plain words,
the Derby government is to get on as long and as well as •
government on sufferance can ander institutions which re-
quire the government to command a majority in the House
