RUSSIA.

We find in the Invalide Busse, of the 11th inst., that
Count Woronzow, Governor-General of Southern Rus-
sia and Bessarabia, had obtained a leave of absence and
permission to travel abroad for the re-establishment of
his health. The Count would be replaced, during his
absence, by General Federow (1), Military Governor
of Bessarabia.
The Gazette of the Senate of the 12th inst. pub-
lishes the following imperial ukase, addressed to Count
Strogonoff, Minister of the Interior :
" We have appreciated with a particular satisfaction,
from the reports and verbal account you gave us of your
mission, the zeal and benevolent dispositions with
which, amidst the difficulties arising from a want
of provisions, all the classes of the population and the
local authorities of the Governments of Tula, Kalouga,
Riazan, and Tamboff, concurred in the accomplishment
of our views, and the active solicitude with which the
noble landlords ministered to the wants of their
peasantry, devoting all their resources to their support,
and supplying them with grain to sow their fields, at the
same time that the merchants distinguished themselves,
on their side, by sacrifices on behalf of the indigent.
In these charitable works, so conformable to the spirit
of the Russian nation, we see a new mark of the blessing
of the Almighty for our solicitude in favour of our
faithful subjects.
" Approving with perfect benevolence so praise-
worthy a conduct, we charge you to convey the assu-
rance of our satisfaction to all the classes of the pcpu-
lation of the above Governments, and in particular to
the nobility.
" We express to you with pleasure our satisfaction
for the zeal and attention with which you discharged the
mission we had confided to you. " NICHOLAS."

The C'orrespondant de Hambourg states that the
Emperor Nicholas has addressed the following letter to
the Baron Fiquelmont, the lace Austrian Ambassador
at the Court of St. Petersburgh :
" PETEAHOFF, JULY 31.—We have remarked with
particular satisfaction, during your residence at our
Court as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipoten-
tiary from his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, your
constant efforts to increase the amicable relations be-
tween the two empires.
" Wishing to give you a proof of our sincere acknow-
ledgment and our esteem for your merits, we confer on
you the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew, set in
brilliants, and we assure you of our ImN per r.
ICHOL ial favouAS."

FACTORY INFORMATIONS.—At the Borough
Court, Bolton, on Monday, John Wild, cotton-waste
spinner, Great Bolton, was summoned by Mr. Ewings,
inspector of factories, to plead to two charges of over-
working children. Mr. Ewings said that he had two corn
plaints to prefer against the defendant, for working more
than forty-eight hours in the week two children under
thirteen years of age, named Martha Greenhalgh and
Martin Crawley, one on the 12th, 13th, and 14th, and the
other on the 17th, 18th, and 19th instant. He called
upon the defendant to plead, as this was enly a preli-
minary step ; and, if he pleaded not guilty, summonses
would have to be taken out for the witnesses. The defen-
dant pleaded guilty. Mr. Ewings then said that, on
a Nish to the mill, he found these children working
more than the hours allowed by law. It was a cotton-
waste mill, and a dreadful place to go into ; it was
quite sufficient, therefore, for adults to work the proper
time. There was a school in connection with the mill,

but the vouchers were not correct. He did not press for
a heavy penalty, as the defendant had sent the children
home. The defendant, in mi:igation, said that one of the
children worked for his father ; indeed, neither of them
had been in his employ. About a month ago, on finding
them working there, he sent them away, but had been
absent from home ; and their parents had taken advantage
of it, and put them on again. He did not intend in future
permitting any childen under thirteen years of age to be
employed there. The defendant was fined 20i. in each
case; and, on the application of Mr. Ewings, the penalties
were ordered to be placed in the bark, to other sums
already there, to be appropriated to the use of Sunday
schools.
A Constance Paper states that the son of the
nurse of Josephine Beaubarnois, end foster-brother of the
late Queen of Holland, mother of Prince Louis Napo-
leon, whose name was Rousseau, has been so much affected
at the news of the attempt at Boulogne, that he has died
of grief. He was seized with a nervous fever the momelit
he heard of it, took to i.his bed, and death ensued on the
17th inst. He kept his eyes constantly fisted on the por-
trait of Prince Louis till be died.
