METALLIC PRODUCE OF ItUSSIA.—The followig
is a statement of the aggregate of the metallic producen
of
the Russian empire for the year 1848, irom the official
documents :—Gold amounted to 1,826 poods; plating, 11
poods; silver, 1,192 poods; copper, 254,569 poods;
wrought iron, 8,513,673 goods; and salt, 24,733,208
poods. Taking the pood at 361 b. avoirdupois, and mea-
suring the gold by the English standard of fineness, the
production of the year would amount to 3,944,8321, or,
allowing for the fraction which the pood is more than
361 b. avoirdupois, to rather upwards of 4,000,000 L ster-
ling. The production of silver is comparatively .•
ficant, but taking
to about 188,0001. The production of the Russian mines
it at ss. 6d. per ounce, it would amount

PRESIDENT TAYLOR'S ADDRESS AND ELECTRIC
TELEGRAPHING IN ENGLAND.—Tbe last arrival of the
steam-ship Europa, at Liverpool, was watched with the
greatest interest, as it was known that she would convey
President Taylor's inaugural address. In order to have
this important document sent 'forward to London with
the least possible delay, a special engine was engaged;
and in case she arrived in the night or early in the
morning, the electric telegraph also. A few minutes
after the steamer entered the river, Messrs. Willmer and
Smith's reporter banded in the document, together, with,
a synopsis of the commercial news,
to the clerk a
the electric telegraph, who at once proceeded; to
waft, on the wings of the lightning messenger, the con'
tents of General Taylor's address. It is but justice to
that gentleman to say that he performed his task with
a degree of activity, perseverance, and precision which
reflected upon him the greatest credit. One of the most
remarkable features in connexion with this event is the
extraordinary sum paid for its transmission from Liver
pool to London. It occupied about ninety-eight lines;
and the sum paid by Willmer and Smith so the Electric
Telegraph Company was twenty-one pound sterling.
The same thing would have been done in America for
as many dollars. How can the English press, under its
already heavy expenditure, endure pecuniary inflictions
of this nature7—From the European Times.
IMPORTS OF GRAIN.—A. week or two ago we noticed
a large arrival of corn at this port by steam- ships from
the nearer continental ports, the navigation ,to
which was not then interrupted by ice. From
the many arrivals at Hull, as well as at the other ports
on the east coast, this week, it would appear that
the internal navigation throughout Germany and the
Danish provinces is entirely free, and that the trading
community in those counties are determined to ship their
produce for England earl), lest hostilities should again wit
an end to commercial affairs. Since our last publication,
the first spring fleet of sailing vessels from the continent
has arrived in port, their cargoes consisting almost ear.
tirely of grain. Although of a small class—very feW
exceeding 100 tons—the number is very large for this
period of the year. From the report of the daily ship',
ping list, it appears that upwards of eighty sail of
vessels, grain laden, have entered our docks since yes-
terday week. suppose each of these vessels have 500
quarters of
-grain on board, which, we think, is rather
under the actual quantity, then 40,000 qrs. have been
imported in a few days. By seam-boats, too, we have
received several thousand bags of wheat, &c., and 31
vessels—five for Gainsberough, and 26 for Goole—have
passed up the Humber, also entirely laden with grain.
Notwithstanding this extensive importation, prices of
grain since Tuesday's market have had a tendency
wards, and fine English wheats are quoted lte per
quarter better.—Hull Advertiser.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.---Yesterday an inques
was held at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Elizabett
Williams, a servant, aged 23, who died from the effecth
of several wounds inflicted upon her throat by herself'
Deceased had been beguiled by the blandishments of a
policeman, and the result of her imprudence being the
birth of a child on Sunday week she was so affected by
the contemplation of her ruined condition, that in a fit
of desperation she inflicted the injuries which resulted in
her death. The sister of the deceased wept bitterly
while giving her evidence. She said her aged parents
were net aware of the melancholy occurrence, and that
the news would break their hearts. The deceased al-
ways had a very comfortable home in the country.; and
was always a most virtuous girl. The policeman bad
left the force and could not be found. Verdict—" Tem-
porary insanity."
