RUSSIA.

The Invalide Russe gives the subjoined account
of the state of the Caucasus and the insurrection
alluded to in a late telegram from St. Petersburg :
" The Caucasus is conquered, but it is far from
being pacified ; the success of our troops and the
emigration of the hostile tribes have advanced the
work, but have not been able to complete it. Not-
withstanding the experience which the mountaineers
must have received of their inability to resist the
Russian forces, the very first adventurer or fanatic
easily finds adherents ready to follow their in-
stincts of pillaging. This summer was particularly
favourable for such attempts. The emigration of
the mountaineers of Western Caucasus, although
accomplished under very unfortunate circum-
stances, awakened among the Tchetchents the
same wish to abandon their native land. The
Government had no reason to oppose that design, as
the departure of the new emigrants would give it
the means of satisfying those who remained by dis-
tributing among them the land, and therefore nego-
tiated with the Turkish Cabinet for the conditions
of this new emigration. The lands for the new
colonists were appointed in Asia Minor, and the
emigration began about the middle of May, and con-
tinued without any obstacles. The passage was
to be effected by the Georgian military road and
the Transcaucasian provinces, and it became there-
fore necessary to divide the emigrants into small
parties, which followed each other at short inter-
vals. It can be well understood how easily it
was to agitate the county at such a time. In-
deed there remained only the inhabitants who
had not yet determined what they were to do, and
who hesitated between the material advantages
which they were sure to obtain from the distribution
of the lands of the emigrants and the problematical
advantages promised to them in a foreign country.
The inhabitants who had decided to emigrate had
sold their property, implements, &c., and awaiting
the time of their departure were exposed to all the
suggestions of idleness. The superior administra-
tion understood very well the danger, reinforced

the troops in the province of Terck, and took
every precaution to prevent a revolt. The event
very soon justified these precautions, as already
on the 23d May the chief of the Ichkeria district
received the news that a shepheid from the
frontier of Andia and Ichkeria, called Tura ek Miz-
zaeff, had been proclaimed imam, and had proclama-
tions distributed to the neighbouring aouls inviting
them to assemble on Mount Gamardouk to destroy

the infidels. A body of 200 Ichkerians answered
the call and assembled on the 24th May under the
command of the new imam. However, finding
that Mount Gamardouk was occupied by three
companies of the Koura regiment they made
for Mount Etichkert, in the province of Dargo,
where the assemblies of the Itchkeria people
usually take place. They were met there
by the Naib of Dargo, who having re-
ceived in time the news of the revolt from the
chief of the Ichkeria districts, immediately assembled
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and attacking
the partisans of Taza, repulsed them with consider-
able loss. The Naib of Veden cut off the retreat of
the insurgents and forced them to retire into a forest.
In order to prevent any communication taking place
between the revolters and the neighbouring districts,
military cordons were drawn round the place of
refuge by the inhabitants of Tehitchnia, Argoun,
and Lagorne. These measures produced the speedy
surrender of Taza, who was delivered with his fol-
lowers on May 29 by the inhabitants of Koratchai
to the chief of the Veden district. This rebellion

was of little importance, and was in fact quelled by
the inhabitants alone without our soldiers. The
inhabitants understood very well that our soldiers
were behind them."

THE DUTY ON RACEHORSES.—According to a
return just issued the duty on racehorses in the year ending
the 31st March last was £7,746 4s.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE OYSTER SEASON.—Yes-
terday morning the oyster season was opened with
the usual ceremonial at Billingsgate-market. Owing to
the partial failure of the breed of oysters this season, the
supply was very limited, only four boats coming into the
market, whereas on previous occasions a fleet of from 20
to 30 has arrived. The result was that prices nearly
doubled, and the most inferior qualities, usually sold ai
9s. and 10s. per bushel, brought from 16s. to 205., and the
real natives from £5 to £6, and were eagerly purchased at
those prices.
THE LONDON SWIM3IING CLUB.—The lovers of
the useful art of swimming may look forward to an
exciting 1,000 yards race for the gold medal of the London
Swimming Club at the Serpentine on Monday morning.
Seven o'clock is the time fixed for the start, which will
take place from the east end of the lake, while the goal will
be Kensington bridge. Some of the most-skilful swimmers
of London and a'few adopts from Cambridge Untversity
and elsewhere have already entered.
