INDISPPSITION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA•
—A latter from our correspondent in St. Petersburgb,
dated the 13th instant, announces that the Emperor
Nicholas was, and had been for some days, seriously in-
disposed. Our correspondent mentions that." his Ma-
jesty had previously become very melancholy.' These
circumstances, added to the severe regimen directed by
the physicians for the Empress and Imperial Crown
Prince, had caused all the " rece
ptions" at Court to be
suspended —Globe.
SUDDEN DEPARTURE OF THE 19TH REGI-
MENT—RIOTs IN ENGLAND. Orders were suddenly
received this day, for the immediate embarkation of the
19th Regiment for England. Accordingly, two hours
after the route was received the Regiment embarked fo
Bristol, on board the Ballinasloe and Express stesnat;
ships. The disturbed state of the Chartist distri%
and the apprehended outbreak of the Chartists,"ueeat,
1.!
the ensuing trials at Monmouth, have caused the sn'
departure of the 19th. Happy is Ireland—andg can
indeed, must be the state of tranquillity when
thus:dispense with troops—which, underthe Tory regime,
were necessary to enforce the semblance of tranqulity.--

KENDAL ANTI. CORN-LAW PTITION•-•-•
The petition adopted at the meeting of the Working
Men's Anti-Corn-law Association on Monday evenil
last, has already received about 1,500 signatures, a°_
from the willingness and anxiety to sign it, that number
will be very greatly increased. The wives of the op
be
have been most eager in their solicitations tobe
allowed to add their names, and finding that it is con-
trary to usage, express the strongest wish that a Pats'
tion should be originated for themselves. The dearness
of bread is an argument that comes home to them, and
the cries of their family speak with a force that compels
conviction.—Kendal Mercury.
