Priace PASBEWITBCU, Governor-General of Po-
land, returned to Warsaw on the 12th from St. Pe-
terlburgh. Orders have been given by the police of
Warsaw to make preparations for the arrival of the
Emperor and Empress of RUFSIA ; the houses in the
principal streets are to be repaired and embellished.
El ,civon refugees had been restored to civil rights, and
it WEIS hoped that his MAJESTY on his visit would
pardon a greater number.

RUSSIAN SLAVE MASTERS.—A very intelligent tra-
veller mentions a cruel practice of the Kirghiz, which is of
a very singular nature. Ile says that they have the art of
reducing their Russian prisoners, by a dexterous blow on the
head, at once to a state of idiotcy, so that, though useful as
slaves, they never think of snaking their escape. They are
also in the habit of making a deep incision in the soles of
their captives' feet, in which they insert a bunch of horse
hair. The wound then cloSei, but leaves a soreness which
effectually precludes any Attempt at running away.

EXTENSIVE MOSS FIRES.
The long-continued drought in and near Manchester,
where a shower of rain has scarcely been seen for up-
wards of two months, has caused the heaths and peat
mosses in the neighbourhood to become exceedingly dry
And combustible. Some of them have been more or less
on fire for nearly a fortnight past. Lindon Common,
about fifteen miles south of Manchester, was on fire last
week, and the flames, fed chiefly by the furze and dry
peat turf, spread to a great distance. A great deal of

destroyed. On Thursday last the moss lands
in the neighbourhood of Altrincham, six miles
:south-west of Manchester, belonging to the Earl of
Stamford and Warrington, were set on fire'by a farmer
who had burnt some rubbish cleared from his land
near Timperiev. The flames continued to spread during
the whole of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and in the
high winds of the two days last named extended over
Carrington Moss, Ashton-upon-Mersey Moss, and Pa-
kington Mess, embracing a tract of country extending
many miles; and some of the homesteads of the farmers
and plantations on the borders of those mosses, were
saved with great ditlionity. On Wednesday last the
mosses extending from six to twelve miles west of Man-
chester also took fire, and were burning until yesterday.
From the Manchester and Liverpool Railway these
fires could be seen extending over a considerable
tract of country, and ou Friday hot they bad reached

a plantation near the Astley station, called Botany
Bay Wood, belonging to the Earl of Ellesmere. Here
the fire, fed by the plantation, rose to a considerable
height, and 30 to 40 workmen had to be sent there to
clear the space around it, so as to prevent it extend-
ing. Several hundred pounds worth of fir, alder, birch,
and other trees, besides underwood, were destroyed.
Many thousands of people were down in the neighbour-
hood on Sunday to witness the spread of the flames,
which swept along over the dry moss in some directions
almost with the rapidity with which similar confla-
grations are described as spreading in the American
prairies. The deep trenches which had been cut in pre-
vious years for drainage, and to stop the progress of si-
milar fires, no doubt tended to check the progress of the
flames on this occasion, but damage has been done alto-
gether to the extent of some thousands of pounds. The
destruction of game has been immense. One person
stated that he saw no less than 20 bares all roasted in a
heap. Numbers of hares were also seen on Sunday
hemmed in by fire, apparently in great terror awaiting
its approach; and pheasants and partridges have been
destroyed to a great extent, this being the season of
breeding, when the hens suffered themselves sooner to be
burnt upon their nests than desert them.
