REPUBLICANISM IN RUSSIA.

Are we to become Republican or Cossack ? If
Europe hastens its development and greatly outstrips
Russia, it may fall a victim to its precocity ; for Hu-
manity is slow in its movements, and any section of
it too quickly developed, is in peril. Humanity
grows; we cannot force it. As G;:iithe says, who
can tell the caterpillar creeping on the twig, of its
future food ? 'Who can aid the chrysalis in bursting
through its shell ? The time comes; it loosens itself
and flies into the rose's lap :
" Wer kann der Raupe, die am Zweig kriecht,
Von ihrem kilulegen Futter sprcchen?
Und wer der Puppe, die am Boden liege,
Die zArte Schale helfen durchzubrechen?
Es kommt die Zeit: sic driiagt sich selber los,
Uod cult, auf Fittigen der Rose in den Sol:cos."
It is perilous for Europe to become Republican while
Russia is Cossack; but we are glad to say that in
Russia herself the Republican doctrine has its adhe-
rents, and among the announcements of new works
considerable interest is excited by the Developement
des Idees Revolutionnaires en Russie, par.A. Leander.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.—A most in-
teresting event took place in respect to this valuable institu-
tion yesterday. Forty-two children—twenty. four boys and
eighteen girls—were admitted into the school in Kennington •
lane, without being obliged to undergo the ordeal of an
election. The committee of the school determined on this
arrangement to give éclat to the year 1851. This pleasing
circumstance, which is, we believe, without a parallel as re-
gards any similar institution in the country, brought to-
gether a large number of the friends of the school, who wit-
nessed the inauguration of the candidates with feelings of
intense satisfaction. Mr. Findley, the governor, and the
committee of the school, received the children into the insti-
tution, and great gratification pervaded all present upon the
occasion. With this addition to the children at present on
the foundation, the number receiving the benefits of a sound
secular and moral education is now 150.

FATHER GAVAZZI IN EDINDURGH.—This cele-
brated Italian orator made his third appearance in Edinburgh
on Thursday night, when the Music Hall was crowded in every
part by an enthusiastic audience. The subject of the Padre's
oration was announced to be " Italy and the Papacy."
Gavazzi was loudly applauded on making his appearance on
the platform, to which he was accompanied by Mr. Dog of
Newliston, the Rev. Dr. Cunninghame, Professor Fraser,
Dr. Schmitz, of the High School, Rev. Mr. Gregory, Bailie
Fyle, Councillors Hill anal Boyd, Mr. Hunter, auditor of the
Court of Session, Mr. James Simpson, advocate, Mr. W.
Smith, Mr. 0. Wood, Signor Nieolini, and several other
gentlemen. Mr. Hog of Newliston, in the absence of the
Lord Provost, was called to the chair. Mr. James Greig an-
nounced the subject of lecture, and stated that that morning
a Society of the Friends of Italy had been formed in Edin-
burgh in connexion with the London Society, that this was
the inauguration of the new society, and that Father Gavazzi
had come forward in the most handsome manner both to
dedicate the proceeds of that lecture to the funds and to en-
deavour to excite an interest in its behalf. Father Gavazzi
then proceeded with his address in Italian, and afterwards
Mr. Greig read a brief outline of it in English. We had a
report of the oration prepared, but we are forced to omit it
from want of room. At the close a vote of thanks was cor-
dially given to Father Gavazzi for his eloquent and interest-

THE SILK TRADE.--MONDAY, OCT. 6 -- .ii_. a
fancy silk trade at Leigh, Failswortb, Middleton, Manches-
ter, and vicinities, still continues in a precarious state; yet
there have been rather better prospects within the last few
days. At several places during the last week winders, dyers„
and wareers had more work than for several weeks past.
Satin stripe mixed goods were in moderate request; the
finest sorts of brocades, and new sorts of figured wprk, are
more inquired after. On Friday and Saturday several large
silk manufacturers delivered rather more work out to their
weavers ; but this is by no means general, and the weavers
of plain goods, on an average, have not more than four days'
work per week. Several large firms, however, are preparing
goods for spring orders, and hopes ate entertained that, after
the Exhibition has been closed, the silk trade will again re-
vise. The raw material is very high at present.
for INTELLIGENCE.—CRANBRO3K.—There was 8
numerous attendance at our fair on Monday, and we are in-
f a•med that some good samples of Weald of Kent tops ret-
l:sed 61. 16s. to 71. per cwt. ; but in the aggregate not much
business was transacted, the buyer:, seeming determined to
make their purchases through the agency of factors—a
course, perhaps, which is after all the best, the more espe-
cially so when the factor is prudent enough to confine him-
self to the strict letter of his calling, and not step in as a
merchant. We noticed a good supply of heavy colts, and
some of them changed hands. There was but very little
stock of any description, and corn ruled very dull, and, to
uas a farmer's phrase, unremunerative.—Naidstone journal.
