Nicholls, L 9) don, 1840:
A carefully and ngravcd picture. It repre-
sents a child but just escaped from infancy, kneeling,
wir,ll its little hands clasped, at its grandmother's feet,
and cffenng up its daily prayer to Heaven. The atti-
tu lc of the child is marked by grace and simplicity,
and the countenance of the old lady, who is sitting in her
eisy arm-chair, witu her hands pressed lightly on the
held of her young charge, beams with that calm, bene-
volent expression, which is so characteristic of a green
and happy old age.

I3ESSARABIA, JUNE s.—The sth corps of the
Rugeiln army, which has been stationed for some years
past in the Crimea, Bessarabia, and about Odessa, and
whose head-quarters, under General Sullen, were just
at this time to be fixed at Odessa, has unexpectedly
received marching orders to Circassia. It seems that
Russia intends to carry on the campaign this year with
extraordinary vigour. This is evident from these pre-
pi.irltory measure:, which affords a new proof of the
importance which Russia attaches to its sovereignty
otc:r that mountainous country, and the losses which it
it has sustained duricg the last winter. 12,000 men
are already embarked ; ,from 8,000 to 10,000 of the
third divisicn have been sent on the road to Tiflis.

There are reports . of a Caucasian Confederation,
which is sail to have been formed in consequence of
the late successes of the Circessians, and to extend
from the Black Ssa to the Caspian, for which reason
many persons doubt of a decisive success of the great
efforts of the Russians. The Russian fleet will take a
station on the Caucasian coast, but will always be in
readiness,' should events in Turkey render it necessary,
to proceed, at the shortest notice, to another desti-
nation.

An article from Vienna, in the Allgemeine Zeitung,
poitively contradicts the report of the intention of the
Austrian Government to contract a new loan.

HAMPTON RACES.--WEDNESDAY.
These races commenced yesterday, and notwithstanding the
recent attractions at Ascot, proved that the love of racing sv.:s
not exhausted. For the first day the assemblage of fashion-
ables, though not so numerous as it would no doubt have '
been, had not the meeting unluckily fallen on the same days
as the Newton, Bibury and Stockbridge, was most re-
spectable, and comprised many persons of rank, amongst
whose equipages were several "four-in-hands." The weather,
although threatening in the morning, held up beautifully, and
continued fine throughout the day. Since last year consi-
derable alterations and improvements have taken place on
the course ; not only have all the inequalities in the turf been
corrected by the use of tan, but the turf itself has ap-
proached a state of racing perfection. The run-in has been
reversed, and the winning-post removed higher up the course ; '
an advantage both to horses and spectators, as it makes the
race home longer and straighter, and affords' a much better
view of the final struggle. These points are highly creditable
to Mr. Parsons, the Clerk of the Course, and were acknow-
ledged with satisfaction, by the owners of horses and jockies.
Amongst others we noticed on the Hurst, Earl of Ches.erfield
and Lord Macdonald, the stewards, Prince Edward of Saze
