PAPERS.

ST. PETERSBURGII, Nov. 29.—The Archduke Con.
stantine has again for some days joined the Imperial
Court, which was at Gatschina for a fortnight, but is
now again at Zarskogi-Selo. It is hoped that at the end
of this week the Imperial Family will come to the ca-
pital for the winter. It is true that there are enough
amusements going on to entertain thr people, but the
means for enjoying them are very much restricted, in
consequence of the gnat want of ready money, and the
exorbitant rise of the price of provisions. Four theatres
and two foreign equestrian companies. give our people
daily amusem,:nt. Another object of great attraction is
the Depot for goods manufactured in Moscow, an exhi-
bition which shows the immense progress which Russian
manufactures have made in this town. Public tran-
quillity has been much disturbed within the last few
weeks, by several murders which have been committed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18.—We have not received
any further authentic- intelligence from the theatre of
the fearful massacre of the Nestorians Christians by
Bedorhan Be), though some Europeans here affirm that
they have heard from the scene of destruction, and that
the devastation extended to two villages only, which are
lying in ruins, coven.d '--ith snow ; that the renegade
Omer Pacha ha; been raised to the rank of General,
and that it is thought he will he sent against Bednhan.
This would be well, though even now too late ; but if
the intended campaign which the journal of Con-
stantinople attributes to the Porte not much zeal and
energy will he displayed. Before that time Bednham
.". in all prob...bility, make use of the interventions of
some wise negotiator, of whom we have so many here ;
and wi,l, very humbly, ask pardon of the Porte, pro-
mising at the same time that he will in future conscien-
tiou,ly abstain from murdering any more Nestorian
Christians—a most needful promise, since in truth there
are not many more Nestorians whom he can murder.
Arid what answer could the Divan make to the penitent
confessions of its contrite and reformed vassal, but very
quietly close only one t ye, raise the other to the moun-
tain laird of Dschisire, and graciously pardon the good
mussulman. Nevertheless, it was rather hard for the
poor Nestorians that they were located exactly in that
part of the country which belonged to the Sublime Porte,
that they had no power 'of arresting their bloody mas-
sacre, and to power of punishing it.
The cholera is .a err aging perceptibly in Tunis. The
Of. it of Mtrza Takki-han has come to a conclusion, as
far as the case can be done zeroum. Tie agreement
which has been made, is, however, to be laid before the
Sultan, for his approbation.

Soc.ngie Bagoe, and liana XII., on the west coast of

The Mieis:er of Finance has just added to the list of
artteles which enjoy freedom from all import duties
when they are brought from the coast of Guinea in
Dutch ships. This list will comprehend, in future,
cottons, dye woods, and tortoiseshell.
The consular agent of the Netherlands, at Scio, has
just transmitted to the Consul General at Smyrna an
account of a fresh act o' piracy to be added to the many
others of the same kind which we have lately had occa-
sion to record.
Last night the manufactory of chemicals of Messrs.
Domeier and Co. was destroyed by fire. The causes of
the accident are not known, but it is believed that a
camphor magazine was accidentally set on fire. A re-
port reached us yesterday Jr, m one of our correz pon-
dents, which appeared to us so improbable that we took
no notice of it ; but as it has been mentioned by two
other papers, we now insert it. This report is, that the
innocence of the Chaplain Gepkens, who was condemned
to death at Arnhein, for the murder of Mr. Weigerink,
has been proved, b 3 the real criminal having delivered
himself up to justice. It is probable that the report has
no other foundation than what has occurred at Groen-
loweth, a person, who appears not to enjoy the full use
of his mental faculties. The Tyd— North Holland Cou-
rant, again refers to a report from its, correspondent
at Batavia, which it published some time ago, and which
we copied, which asserts that the East India Govern-
ment, with Dieponlegoro, had engaged to oppose, by all
means in its power, the propagation of Christianity.
The 7'yd sees a confirmation of this strange report in
various circumstances, particularly in the total silence
of '

the Government.
WARSAW, Nov. 29.—The Grand Duke Michael
passed through this city yesterday, on his way to St.
Petersburph.
Seven Polish emigrants, implicated in the revolution
of 1830, were lately allowed to return to Poland, on
which occasion the confiscation of their property was
removed, and the sentence of civil death annulled. It
is believed that these persons have, by some means or
other, rendeted some service to the Cabinet of
Sr. Petereburgh, and it is recollected that it was
Russia which was first informed of the late Polish
conspiracy. This gives ground to infer what kind of
service they performed. On the other hand, a participa-
tor in the revolution of 1830 is just now condemned to
the confiscation of his property. The proceedings
against the prisoners implicated in the last conspiracy
who are here confined in the citadel, is not yet begun.
The directions of this investigation is in the hands of the
Council of War, which proceeds with extreme rigour,
and has passed three sentences of death, without pardon;
ttree sentences of death, with rardon at the moment o
:tecution— ith banishment and confiscation of propert3 ;
"one sentence of running the gauntlet."
[There seems to be some contradiction in this, but it
is li'erslly translated.]

objects csleuf.,ted to arrest attention in the present ex-
hibition. ere a pair of horns that once ornamented the

the Royal aura the other ef those of the Noble Duke,

They attracted much notice in the committee-room.
IloN TO IMPROVE THE SIZE OF OUR CULINARY
VEGETABLES.—The folowtag suggestion, by a cerre-
si ollent in a Canadian paper. at ems worthy of notice.
Great zeal, he obseeves, is manifested in raising new
varietias of culinary plants, but improving existing sorts
seems to ha quite eliareg,arded. I am confident that a
vast increase of food, &c.. may la. abtained by manaeing
judiciously, and systematically c.trrying out for a time,
what may be armed the principle of increase. Take,
t'or instance, a pea, plant it in a very rich ground, allow
it to bear the first year—say half a dozen pods only, and
remove all the others ; save the largest single pea of
these, sow it the next year, and retain of the produce
three pods only ; sow the largest one the following year,
and retain one putt ; aga•n elect the largest, and the
next year the sort will by this time have trebled its size
and waight. Ever afterwards sow the 13rgest seed. By
these moans you will get peas (or anything else) of a
bulk of which a e at present have no idea.
AFRICAN SPECIMENS.—The parcel of specimens
