MOSCOW AND RUSSIAN POWER.

(Extract of a letter from a Traveller.)
" Since I saw you I have been in strange lands, and
seen strange sights. I have traversed the Baltic and the
wide dominions of the ambitious Autocrat—crossed the
Euxine, and dipped into Asia and European Turkey—
' kept due onwards to the Propontic and the Hellespont'
—wandered amid the faultless fragments of the bright
clime of battle and of song'—sailed by the lonian Isles—
visited the chief towns of the Germanic Confederation, and
here I am at last, safe and sound, in the ever gay capital
of France. I thank Heaven my travelling in the far

East' is at an end. One is rather badly accommodated
there in the way of railroads and steamers. However,
take it all in all, I have every reason to be satisfied with
the voyage, for there is no kind of information but must
be purchased with some painstaking, and one day I shall
fully eujoy all this in calm retrospection from the bosom of
the unpruned forest.' Yes, the sight of the city of Mos-
cow alone would amply repay one for all risks and fatigues
at sea. Never shall I forget my sensations when from the
great tower of the Kremlin, one bright sunny day, I looked

. _
down upon that beautiful city. The numberless domes
beaming with'azure and with gold, the checkered roofs,
the terraces, the garddn slopes, the mingling of all the
styles and systems of architectural construction, now
massive and heavy, now brilliant and light, and every-
where fresh and original, enchanted me !—and, I am
free to confess, Russia astonished me. I have sailed dow❑

the mighty Mississippi-I have been in the dark and silent
bosom of our forest homes-1 have been under the eye of
Mont l;h►nc and OlyMpus—l grew familiar with Rome
and with'London, without experiencing the same degree of
wonder which fastened upon me in Russia. I thought

there to have encountered but hordes of semi-barbarians ;
yet I found a people raised, as it were, at once from a state
of nature to our level of civilisation. Nor have they awl-
rently, in their rapid onward course, neglected the lliCanS to
render their progress sure and certain. And then, what
an army, a million of men !—and all wearing the best forms
of men ; the best disciplined, and better able to endure

the laboured battle-sweat' by their constant activity, the
rigour of their climate, and their ignorance of all pleasures
which serve to effeminate. The navy, too, though in an
imperfoct state compared with the army (in sailors not
ships) will doubtless soon hold a distinguished rank. Only
think of such a po.ver, increasing every day—stretching out
wider and wider, and all confessing one duty—obedience
to the will of the absolute Sovereign. Though lam un-
skilled in political lore,' yet as we ' Yankees' assume the
right to 'guess' upon all subjects, I calculate' your Go-
vernment had better keep a watchful eye upon the ermined
Scythian, or he'll bother your commerce in certain quarters,
He hates both England and France, and his warlike attitude
from Cronstadt to the Crimea, at least deserves attention
from those who know how to appreciate peace and free-
dom. You will say this is all stuff; but you will think
otherwise, when, in a short time, Nicholas shall have pos-
session of Constantinople and the Bosphorus."

CII ENIICAL AFFINITY.—That cash should be al-
lied with money is in no way astonishing ; consequently there
will be nothing extraordinary in the information subjoined.
On Alonday last L. Cash, was brought before the Magis-
trates at the New Bailey, charged with stealing from a drawer
the sum of 41., the property of his master. The robbery, it
appears, was effected on Saturday last, and the prisoner im-
mediately set off with his booty fur this town ; but the money
having been missed, a man named Hilton was sent in -pursuit,
and he was found drinking in a beer-house. In reply to the
charge, he declared that he was cruelly aspersed, tin- that he
had only stolen 2/. 12s. 6d., whereas it was alleged that he had
taken 41. He was committed for trial.—Manchester Chro-
nicle.

There is now to be seen in the garden of Mr.
Morris, glazier, in Woodstock, a single root of asparagus,
which came up accidentally from seed, on which are 48 shoots,
the least measuring one inch and a quarter in circumference,
The shoots of last year, not cut, measured upwards of ten feet
in height,—,Leamington Chronicle.
