HR. BREMNER'S " RiTSSIA.”-We are glad
to see that the demand for this valuable work has led to its
being re-printed, and in a cheaper form, an edition being now
issued in two volumes, small Bvo. Of the various books that
have recently appeared on the subject of Russia (observes the
Examiner) Mr. Bremner's seems to us decidedly the best.
The Emperor is painted, in defiance of all travelled precedent
neither angel nor devil; the vast country he rules is not leas.
soberly and justly depicted; and the habits and manners of the
people are characteristically given. We have a vivid picture
of the actual state of Russia, in the agriculture and manufac-
tures of her principal districts, in contrast between her nobles
and her peasants, in details of the actual condition of her
armies and her serfs, and in a general and enlarged view of the
whole internal resources of her empire. Passing pictures of
scenery and manners are also pleasantly painted, and it will,
probably, by many be thought not the least interesting feature
of the book, that a portion of it is devoted to a series
practical and available instructions for the traveller who -o
would
visir, without all the penalties of ignorance and inexperience.
the scenes it describes.

John Charles, three months and hard labour.
James Moore, one year and hard labour.
W. Arard, two months and hard labour.
George George, six months and hard labour.
Jahn Partridge, six months and hard labour. •
John Gibby, one year's imprisonment in the gaol of Mon-
mouth.

Thomas Davies was bound in his own recognizance of
501. to keep the peace for five years. He pleaded guilty
to a charge for riot.
H. Harris, Turner, and Tomlins:wcre bound in their own
recognizances to keep the peace for five years.
The prisoners were then removed. The Court broke
up, and thus the business of the Special Commission ter-
minated.

PRINCE ALBERT.—.The Franconian Mercury
quotes the following from Coburg ; Prince Albert was
last year declared to have attained his majority, and put in
possession of the property bequeathed to him by his mother,
which produces a revenue of 28,000 florins (about 2,400/. )
per annum. When it was decided that he should quit the
country to marry Queen Victoria, he granted certain pensions
to several persons attached to his household, and then trans-
ferred the estate to his elder brother."
RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.
—ln connection with the means of effecting railway communi -
cation with Ireland, it is calculated that if from the Birmingham
and Liverpool a branch railway were to be established to Holy-
head or to Perth Dynllaen, the mails might be conveyed from
the London Post-office to that of Dublin in eighteen hour., al-
lowing one half-hour from the Post-office in London to starting
on ruilway, twenty-seven miles per hour for the rail-
way, thirty minutes for embarkation, ten miles an hour
for steam-boat voyage, thirty minutes from Irish port to Dub-
lin, including landing, two hours additional for return to allow
for occasional long passages by sea ; hour of leaving London eight
r-m., hour of arrival in Lon.ton seven A. M.—Railway Times.
MANCHESTER—THE COTTON TRADE, FRI-
DAY EVENING.—Goods have from the lowest point advanced
about 5 per cent., at which advance they are firm ; and Ps Cotton
has dropped 5 per cent. during the last fortnight, the posftion
of the spinner and manufacturer must be called favourable as
compared with the previous depressed state of things. Grey
Cloth, suitable for the India Market, is in good demand, and
fully as dear as on Tuesday; and all other descriptions very
firm. In Twist no change ; and the amount done this week
has been considerable; but at this !eason the trade is always
dulier than at am tither •.' "

Five per Cent. Dutch Stock was done at 1001 to
; Columbian 264 to 7 ; Mexican 29 to ; Five per
Cent. Portuguese 34 to 54 ; Three per Cent, ditto
to 4 ; and Active Spanish at 25i to 4. The rise
which has taken place in the last named securities is
ascribed in part to reports of the death of Cabrera,
but, in a more considerable degree, to the precautions
taken by the Paris committee for the protection of
the general interests of the bondholders. Should
the rumoured death of the Carlist chief turn out to be
a fact, the Spanish Government will be ab:e,
through the instrumentality of their degraded
tools in the London and Paris Markets, to get out a
few more thousands of the bonds. The old litho-
graphed lac simile must be pretty well worn out, but
Lord Clarendon's exemplary friend, Count Toreno, is
now at hand, ready upon all occasions to give his sig-
nature to any amount, and the paper and conveyance
being the only expencc of the " operation," fresh bales
will be forwarded to the two capitals the moment ad-
vices are received of the old stock being worked out.
The delusion that is kept up at the Stock Exchange
about these contemptible rags is past our comprehen-
sion. Alter what has just been discovered at Paris,
the Committee ought at once to order them to be swept
out of their establishment, and for ever excluded from
their lists. The death of Cabrera, indeed! what insuf-
ferable humbug !

SUN.—There was some heaviness, and even a slight
depression in the rates of the foreign exchanges this af-
ternoon, bills on Paris having been negotiated at 25 55
to 57i ; on Haml-urgh at 13 94 to ; on Antwerp
at 12 ; and on Amsterdam at 12 2- to.
The lunds closed at nearly the same prices as those
realised in the morning. Consols for present transfer
brought 99-1, to 91 ; and for time 91-!. to -1 ; Exchequer
Bilis improved to 12s. premium ; and East India Bonds
• to 3s. premium ; Incia Stock rose to 249 i.
A large amount of business was done this afternoon
in Colombian and Portuguese Stocks for the Account.
The former rose through these speculative operations to
27, and the latter, New Five per Cents. to 35,-; Spanish
Consols left off at 2.5 i or Money, but 26;1 to 25i for
time. Belgian Bonds reached 1021, and the other Se-
curities were without any alteration of importance.
Very few bargains -sere effected in the Share Market.
The Great Western Railway Shares dropped to dis-
count, the Birmingham were at 60 to 61 premium, and
the Brighton fell to 11 discount. Colonial Bank
' Shares were done at 7 premium ; and Provincial Bank
of Ireland at a decline to Itif premium,

POLITICAL SUMLARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Post of this day, in a leading article on
the subject of Sir J. Yarde Buller's notice of a motion
of a want of confidence in Ministers, remarks as follows :
" Considering the exceedingly unsatisfactory and even
alarming state of the country, in many particulars, some
of the most important of which are clearly within the pro-
vince of Government to have prevented or remedied, there
is a prima facie against the Government. There requires
no enumeration of charges—no Parliamentary establish-
ment of a case. The state of the country, unfortunately
but too notorious, is an already established case against
Ministers. It will be their business to defend, to show why the
country should have confidence in them, notwithstand-
ing the disastrous circumstances to which we allude."
—The Times, after stating that " great and permanent
consequences" are erpected to result from the present
Session of Parliament, goes en to observe :—" That a
vicious and incapable House of Commons has for years
carried on a revolt against the honour of the State and the
vital welfare of the eeople ; that a bargain, founded in
selfish and base unrighteousness between three notorious
factions, united by no common interest but the profits de-
rivable from their common crime, has enabled those con-
spirators to set at defiance the genuine but undisciplined
feelings of all the educated and respectable classes of the
community; that political Papists, democratic revolutionists,
and practitioners in the business of official routine, have
established a partnership of national plunder, by the
combined resources of which they have hitherto baffled
the desultory efforts of the independent people of England
to extricate themselves from the system of fraud and de-
predation by which they have been oppressed; and that it
is not merely since the evil became intolerable in its de-
gree, but the nature of the only effective remedy becam e
palpable—viz., en organized and well-directed movement
of the whole enlightened portion of the public mind—that
there has existed any feasible means of overturning the force
of the above depraved confederacy." When our contempo-
rary tacks of three " notorious faction" being united by no
common interest but the profits derivable from their common
plunder, he forgets that his description, which has neither
point nor propriety when applied to Ministers and their ad-
herents, applies with singular felicity to the three " noto-
rious factions" of Tory, Conservative, and High Church
bigot, who, differing from each other on a thousand points,
are yet bound strongly together one feeling common to
all of them—namely, a resolution to monopolise, as soon
as may be expedient, the Treasury loaves and fishes. What
but this keen sense of mutual interest binds the discreet
Conservative Peel to the headstrong Ultra, Knatetibull,
elinnekes
apthlietmiatteogaestimicarn,
yansdeettiheens ianscotnhgeirruoaures
and the fiery zealot, Phillpotts? Snap this chain that
epo al
or thyr a
winillthae
rainbow. As regards our Contemporary's advice tot
" to the whole enlightened portion of the public
mind"' to make a brisk move ; our reply is, let them
move by all means as soon as they possibly can, and the
sooner the better; for the result of such movement cannot
fail to be as disastrous to the Opposition, as it will be
encouraging to the Government. It must be a strange
popular move indeed that moves the people-hating Tories
from the left to the right-hand side of the Speaker I—
' The Morning Chronicle, alluding to the discussion in the
Lords on Thursday, on Prince Albert's Protestantism,
says :—" The hungry stomachs of neither class can be
crammed with the articles of Prince Albert's Protestant
creed. They need more earthly fare.
.Repeal your Corn-
less, my Lords; the Duke of Welleigton's Corn-law ;
and your Protestantism may then boast some nearer
affinity with natural justice and Christian charity."
The Morning Herald thus speaks of last night's
debate in the Commons on the Breach of Privilege
question :—" The House of Commons is now fairly in arms
against the law , and no man may pretend to tell the issue
of this attempt on the part of the representatives of the
people to establish an intolerable despotism." The Morn-
ing Advertiser uses the following language in reference to
the Breach of Privilege question :—" The privilege of
giving the fullest publicity to its proceedings is one of the
most important privileges of the House of Commons—a
privilege which, even if inclined, public opinion will not
suffer it to abandon; and therefore in the assertion of this '
privilege, however it may be affected by the literal inter-
pretation of the statute, are House may confidently rely on
the support of the nation."

Count Valentine Esterhazy has arrived at
Chandos House from the French capital, with the intention of
remaining some months in this country.
