RUSSIA.
(Prom the Times' Correspondent.)
MOSCOW, SUNDAY, Sept. 14.
To-day there was apatite levee at the Kremlin, at
which the clergy and many of the Boyards paid
their respects to the Czar and the Czarina. The

the Coror,ation will occupy the whole of the month
till the 30th, and the programme thus arranges

2911,,, Ambassadors' dinner. 30th, The grand
fete of fireworks and final illumination. It will
leo observed by this list that the "people" are
more considered in Russia than one could have
expected ; and, indeed, it has been the subject
of general remark here among strangers that
the lower orders are allowed great freedom in their
approach to the person of the Czar, and in all
shows and ceremonies. I fear a bal masque for
the people at Buckingham Palace would be rather
a turbulent affair, but there is no great chance of
the truth of the apprehension being tested. It
somewhat contrasts with this freedom to read in
the papers which have just arrived from Eng-
land of the railing off and barricading the people
at the. various railway stations during her Ma-
jesty's progress northwards, and it makes one
regret that such restraints should be necessary
to insure the Queen from annoyance and unbe-
coming pressure when she leaves her palace. The
courts of the Kremlin are crowded all day by
the poorest peasantry, but so far from crushing
and squeezing to get near the Imperial family
there is a perfect propriety of demeanour
among them all when the Czar or any of the
Romanoffs appear; every head is uncovered, and a
chorus of voices exclaim, " Long live the Czar," or
whoever it may be, but no one attempts to rushfor-
ward and stare curiously at them, or to cause them
any inconvenience by undue familiarity. It is, per-
haps, because they are allowed such freedom--be-
cause there is a thoroughfare through the courts of
the Kremlin, only one, a small enclosure railed off
from the palace, being forbidden to carriages—that
such decency is preserved. Indeed, the Kremlin is
a kind of popular lounge, and the poor mujik
saunters in there to gaze on the beautiful panorama
spread out before him, or to wait long hours in the
hopes of feasting his eyes on the Emperor, just as
the denizen of St. Giles seeks a relief from his
dreary room in the splendour and excitement of
the gin palace. At reviews he stands in the front
line, amid generals, officers, ladies, and nobles, be-
having himself properly, with a quiet satisfaction
and enjoyment.
It was just this very day two years ago that the
Allies landed at-Old Fort, and were rudely inaugu-
rated into the business of campaigning by bivouack-
ing on the bare plain without any tents, under a
tremendous fall ofrain, which still further developed
the fatal influences of the cholera among them.
Little any one of them ever thought that he would
kwe been fiddling and dancing away in a friendly
manner in the Palace of the Kremlin so soon after-
wards. It was a few hours later than this that the
Czar received at first with incredulity, and then
with an anger and astonishment which shook that
giant frame like a child's, the news of the descent
on the Crimea. Bursting into the Empress's
apartment, he exclaimed, " This, this is more
than a man can bear !" for up to the last he had
neglected the warnings and entreaties of Prince
Menschikoff, and had obstinately insisted that
the Allies would operate on the Danube, and
nob .against Sebastopol. His pride, his self-
confidence had received a rude shock—his
Guards were in Poland, his armies were gather-
ing on the frontier, and suddenly an active
enemy strikes him where he was least prepared
and little expected the blow. Yet a few months
more and his son announces to him the ar-
rival of a messenger with despatches of importance
from the Crimea. " They are nothing to me
now," feebly articulates the Emperor; "I have
made my peace, I trust, with Heaven, and I have
no more to do with the affairs of this world ; open,
read them, and do as you think best." So great
was his self-control that he did not make an
inquiry as to their contents, although they related
to the matters which had interested him and
affected him most in the course of a long and
not uneventful reign. Oh si sic omnia. The
peculiar circumstances of the late Czar's death
have attached to it a melancholy interest in the
eyes of his people, and they show it on all occa-
sions by their profound respect for his widow.
Wherever the Empress Mother appears she is re-
ceived with every demonstration of affection and
regard. People recollect her affection for the
Czar, her excellent qualities as a wife and as a
mother, and her virtues of patience and love,
sometimes, as in the case of the poorest, severely
tried and tested in rude encounters. Since the
day of the dreadful military revolt and conspiracy
which marked the beginning of the Emperor's
reign, she has been subject to nervous palpitations
of the heart, and it is only surprising to those who
know the state of her health that the Empress has
survived such severe trials, and outlived her
beloved.

The day before the coronation all admission
was refused to the Church of the Kremlin, but I
managed, nevertheless, through the kindness of a
general officer, to get in to have a glimpse of the
splendour prepared for the morrow. It was like a
peep behind the scenes of a theatre —rough artizans
were still at work planing wood, hammering, and
chopping in the sacred edifice—ships lay on the
holy seat of the metropolitan—the floor was here
and there littered with tag ends of velvet and gold
brocade—the thron es themselves. But hark! there
is a noise at the outer gate of the church, and a
faint roll of drums. The attendant runs to unbar
the door, and presently there enters, borne in a
chair by four servants in the Imperial livery, an
elderly lady, whose countenance is marked with
a melancholy resignation, and the traces of suffer-
ing and disease. A few efacere and chamberlains

follow her—the chair is gorAliy set down close to
Imperial throne; the lady closes her eyes and
seems to pray fervently. What vigiolm arise in
this silent church before thoAe dimmed orbs! When
last she was here it was to receive the crown of an
Empress from the hands of the departed Cte3ar.
Gently clasping her hands she turns her eyts up-
wards, looks around the blase of gold and finery,
and, as if satisfied with one glance, beckons to her
servants to take up the chair, and is carried out
of the church in silence. The care and motherly
love of the Empress-Dowager is rewarded by the
affection of the Czar and of all her children.
There is some talk of the Imperial family remain-
ing in Moscow, or rather of their visiting it more
frequently than they used to do in the lifetime
of Nicholas. Nothing could be more grateful to
the old Muscovite party ; but it is thought that
if the present Emperor carried out the intention
attributed to him, it certainly would not be
from any desire to win the favour of the
high Conservative and obstructive section of
his subject's, who hate peace, and railways, trade,
cormr.erce, and are opposed to all internal im-
vprovement. It would not be wonderful, indeed,
if a man got tired of St. Petersburg—its quays,
its long straight streets, half deserted, its Neva,
and its population of soldiers, sailors, and civil
employes. To the Russian there is a historic inte-
rest attached to the Kremlin and to Moscow which
its rival can never.excite• It is the cradle of his
glory, the palladium of his race.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15.
The ball last night was very brilliant and well
attended. Lord and Lady Granville, and the
other members of the English Embassy were pre-
sent, with the exception of the Marquis of Stafford
end Sir R. Peel. In addition to the dancing there
was whist-playing, ecarte, and lansquenet for those
who liked it. The Emperor was unusually affable
and unreserved, and spoke to most of the Minis-
ters, particularly M. do Moray, at some length.
The deputations from the various Governments,
in presenting bread and salt to the Emperor on
his coronation, offered them on gold salvers and
dishes. About 400 of these were laid. before his
Majesty on Sunday week ; and it is estimated
that the total value of the gold and silver is not
less than 5,000,000 silver rubles.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The French ultimatum addressed to Naples, if
not already despatched, is certainly on the eve of
departure. It is ready, if not sent. It is said
that some faint hope is founded on Baron Hiihner's
intercession, but it is very slight, and shared by
'eV. The tone of the Paris papers of to-day shows
that the belief is general that France and England
have abandoned fruitless remonstrances for positive
demonstrations. It is stated that Ajaccio is to be
the rendezvous of the combined squadrons, and
that the French ships will leave Toulon imme-
diately. They consist of the Bretagne, carrying
the flag of Admiral Trehouart, the Ulm, Algeciras,
Napoleon, ships of the line, and of the Isly,
Du-
chayla, and Aidgere, steam-frigates and corvettes.
BOURSE.—The apprehensions produced by the
Neapolitan difficulties, and still more so by the
monetary crisis which has commenced in Germany
and Belgium, have produced a sort of panic upon
the French market. The following were the last

SPAIN.
The following are the details of the terrible ac-
cident ;on the Aranjuez Railway, already briefly
announced by telegraph :—" A diligence from
Seville, which was placed on a truck, caught fire
near Villasequia, and flames soon burst forth ; the
train, however, proceeded aboUt two miles before
the conflagration was perceived. The train was
then, of course, immediately stopped, and the burn-
ing vehicle was separated from it ; but some of the
passengers had previously jumped from it.
Amongst them were two sisters and a lady and
child, all of whom were so dreadfully injured
that they died in a few hours, and another
was burnt to death. The other passengers,
eight in number, escaped with their lives, but one
was seriously injured, and the others received con-
tusions. One of the latter was a lady who was so
stout that she had had to pay for two places, and
her escape was considered miraculous. The dili-
gence and the truck on which it was were com-
pletely reduced to cinders. It is not known how
the fire originated, but it is supposed to have been
by the imprudence of some passenger in the dili-
gence in lighting a cigar. Some of the passengers
by the train were so exasperated at the accident
that they assaulted the guards and engine men in
charge of the train ; one of the guards was seri-
ously injured ;—even a government inspector who
happened to b present was menaced."

The Opinione of Turin of the 20th announces
that the inhabitants of Carrara (Modena) have
sent 535 fr. as their subscription for the 100 guns of
Alessandria. The letter which accompanies this
sum offers likewise the voluntary enrolment of a
number of artillerymen sufficient to serve at least
one gun.

A letter from Kalafat, in the Austrian Corres-
pondence, states that the number of Turkish soldiers
who have lately arrived in that place for the repair
of the fortifications amounts to 150. Similar
operations are about to be carried on at the other
towns commanding the fords ou the Danube, and
also all the tetes-de-pont on each side of the river.

A letter from Vienna, in the Bourse Gazette of
Berlin, says :-46 Baron de Hubner, after having
been received by King Ferdinand in an official
manner, had a private audience of his Majesty.
This news came to Count Buol by telegraph, and
the same despatch, it is said, stated that the Baron
had a well-founded hope of being able to convince
the King of Naples of the necessity of changing his
system."

The last overland mail from Mauritius brought the in-
„elligence of the death of Professor Wenceslaus Bojer, a
name so well known for many years past to the botanists
of Europe on account of the many and beautiful speci-
mens which he was the first to introduce to their notice.
The pages of the botanical journals both of England,
France, and Germany attest the variety of his researches,
and the value of his labours in countries which he was
the first to visit and explore for the purposes of science.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S ExlmarrioN,—Another addition
for the completion .of the royal group at the above exhis-
bition has just been executed. It represents his Ma•
jesty King Oscar of Sweden. His Majesty is represented
in a dark green, uniform, his breast being decorated with
several Orders of-distinction. The figure is admirably
constructed, and most life-like in appearance.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE WELLINGTON
BlERACKS.—Yeeterday,' about noon, an accident oc-
curred at the Wellington Barracks in St. James's-park,
by the falling of a mass of earth, the effect of which was
that one of the unfortunate men engaged in the excava-
tion, of the name of Henry Redman, lost his life. The
body was taken to St. Margaret's workhouse, to await
a coroner's inquest. The men were all experienced
hands at the work they were engaged in.
MUTINY AND .MURDER.—The Melampus, 44, is on her
way to Spithead from the Black Sea, and has on board
three murderers, heavily. ironed (two Italians and an-
other foreigner), with five witnesses. These miscreants
rose upon the captain of a merchant vessel in the Black
Sea, and then made their escape ashore in the Bosphorus.
They were, after much difficulty, captured, and put.on
board the -Melampus for security. The case will be
brought before the magistrates of Portsmouth on the
arrival of the Melampus at that port.
DISCOVERY OF COPPER IN NEW ZEALAND.—We are
glad to learn that the discoverY of the lode of copper ore
on the Dun Mountain has been fully confirmed, and that
the result of the experiments made upon the samples
forwarded to this country are unusually favourable. A
few feet lower down a most valuable vein has been
struck. This, together with the reported discovery of
gold, if the latter is confirmed, will be of the greatest
aivantage to this province and to the whole of New Zen-
land.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette.
TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—A call has been
made t) finally wind up the affairs of this company,
which was started some years ago to carry out life assur-
ance in conjunction with the Tontine system, but the
project failed, the company having only succeeded in
effecting two or three policies. The call is to pay off
outstanding creditors' claims, and to repay hose who
advanced moneys and paid calls, as against those in the
concern who did not.

PAPER FROM SUNFLOWERS._ Near Erith a crop is
about to be gathered of about four acres of sunflower.
The seeds will be used for oil, and to feed the cattle and
