COMMERCE OF RUSSIA.

The Augsburg Gazette gives the following details of
Russian commerce for the year 1845:--
"The exports to foreign countries, including Poland
and Finland, have amounted to 92,567,745 silver roubles
(the silver rouble is worth 3fr. 45c.); the imports to
83,161,372. The exports have been less for many im-
portant articles than in preceding years, which is attri-
butable to the bad harvests that have taken place in the
western provinces of the empire. The Russian-Chinese
commerce has been greater in 1845 than in the year
before, amounting to 13,622,000 silver roubles. Tea
continues to be the principal article purchased by the
Russians, 100,000 chests, weighing from 451 b. to 601 b.
each, of the best quality, and 40,000 chests of inferior
quality, having been imported. The Russian articles ex-
ported to China consist principally of furs and cloths
and those sent to the transcaucasian provinces, of sugar,
provinces, of sugar, dye-stuffs, and spirituous liquors.
In 1845, 5;926 vessels entered Russian ports, and 5,940
quitted them. The customs produced 31,958,083 silver
roubles, or 1,186,395 less than in 1844. This result is
attributed to the large imports of 1844, which is lessened
the demands of the following year."

THE ROYAL STAG HOUNDS.—Her Majesty's stag
hounds, which have not been hunted since Wednesday,
the 9th inst., in consequence of the continuance of the
late frost, met on Monday morning at the kennel Sat
Ascot. About 100, including Major Parker, Captain
Seymour, Messrs. Ricardo, Cox, Wemyss, Willis, Wor-
ley, Mills, &c., were present. Earl Granville, who has
not yet recovered from his late accident, attended the
meet, in a carriage from the Royal Hotel, at Slough, and
witnessed the uncarting of the deer, which took place on
the kennel piece at AscJt; the deer taking away across
the road on to the race-course, making down the New
Mile course to Sunningbill-wells and Kingsbeach, where
it doubled to the left to Mrs. Fcster's plantations, on to
Broomhill waste, and thence to Windlesham, doubling
to the left for Chobham, and over the brooks and ditches
which abound in that vicinity. Here, from the numerous
spills and duckings which took place, i❑ consequence of
the rotten state of the ground, in taking off and landing,
several of the field gave in. The deer made from Chob-
ham for Knap-hill, on to Mill-brook Farm, and was
there taken, at Mr. Stiles's, between Chobham
and Khap-hill, after a very fast run of an hour and
a quarter, over a line of country heavy at all times, but
rendered particularly so from the rapid breaking up of
the frost. The royal stag hounds will hunt three days
more during the week. The fixtures have been :ar-
ranged as follows:---Thursday, at Salt-hill; on Saturday
at Bedfont-lane Gate.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—To TILE UNMARRIED AND
MARRIED.—Young persons who are about to enter the
marriage state, whether their anticipation of marital
happiness is in the possession of children or otherwise,
should seek advice of a qualified medical guide. Mar-
ried persons of both sexes, whether they are suffering
from an improper balance of the reproductive powers.
lamenting the want of offspring, or on the other hand
are e• ;pairing of realising their early hopes through the
expenses attendant upon an increasing family, should
know that the remecy for both these evils are clearly
within their reach, by means which do not involve the
sacrifice of any feeling, either moral or physical. Upon
the continent this has long been a generally recognised
fact, and in this country latterly, a great number of per-
sons in all ranks of life, have, (in both the above-men-
tioned cases,) by consulting Mr. Blundell, avoided evil
which under their peculiar circumstances, were calcu•
lated to render life the reverse of what marriage should
make it. Parties who from motives of delicacy desire
to consult Mr. Blundell by letter, can do so by inclosing
the amount of his consultation fee (one guinea), in the
form of a post .office order, and, if it is desired, this may be
made payable to any name provided proper information
is afforded.—William Blundell, Esq., Consulting Sur-
geon, 25, Great Marlborough-street, Regent-street.

Gore Langton, entered on his 89th year last Saturday.
