he Considered to he the best. He apprehended that the

prove.fatal to the existence of the board. He imputed
the opposition to the engineer's reports to that gentle-
man's esletermincd enemies in the board.

fication of the ThamcP. The scheme was recommended

tendance on the occasion of his memorial being consi-
dered by the board.
Adjourned at a quarter to five.

ST. PETERSBURG, AUGUST 4.
This morning the thunders of artillery awoke all
Petersburg, and the sea-coast town within many
miles, to witness a grand review of the Russian
mortar-boats off Cronstadt. Yesterday evening,
as our steamer approached Crosstadt, we had seen
the Russian fleet some 15 or 20 miles east of that
fortress. There were 12 (I think) line-of-battle
ship: s, and about 18 or 20 frigates. When we
caaie to the guardship we had to moor there for
the:night, as our vessel, the Gothenburg, a fine
screw-steamer, drew too much water (11 feet)
to pass the bar till she had discharged part
of her freight, and we could not obtain a small
boat till daylight. At first we were disappointed at
thiS delay, but next morning we had every reason
to congratulate ourselves that a readier despatch had
not, deprived us of a very animated and striking
spectacle. We were immediately boarded by a
semi-civilian, and very civil officer, who talked any
language that happened to come upp3rmost ; a
naval or military, or both naval and military offi-
cer, whose business was not to talk at all, but in
silent obesity to represent the martial power ; and
lastly, a scrivener, with a leather bag containing
a seal as large as the dial of a timepiece. The cap-
tain of our boat produced the requisite' documents,
and some champagne and capital cigars. To my
surprise—for I know that such articles are appre-
ciated in. Russia—the principal officer of the three
who visited us almost immediately lost his gay
appearance. He declined the champagne (a second
glass, that is) ; he threw down his cigar ; he leant
his forehead on his hand, one of his companions,
the representative of the Cronstadt military autho-
rity, laughed, urged him in Russ to take off his
°lass9 and asked him what was the matter. " This
,
stupid vessel," replied he, in the same language,
" ought to have let two anchors down ; she rolls so
that I am quite sick already." He thought this was
not understood. Yet for three months this gentle-
man had never once been on laud. tie lived entirely
in the guardship. It is well that the Russian navy
can now take exercise. Had the blockade lasted

much longer, a short row in an open boat, and 20
minutes on board of a steamer riding at single
anchor, would have sufficed to make the greatest
veteran in the Russian navy sea-sick.
The whole of Cronstadt was alert at daybreak on
the 4th, and we passed through the whole line of
steam mortar-boats. There were 75 in number, ex-
tended along a diagonal front of 15 versts (or 10
miles English) within Cronstadt, and from that place
to the shore of Peterhoff. Every one of these boats
was furnished with the screw propeller. More than
two-thirds of them carried three mortars each—one
in the stern, one amid-ships, and one in the bows—
the rest carried only two pieces. They were very
large. The crew of each boat numbered from 49 to
50. The boats were hastily got up ; they are very
light in motion, and of very shallow draught.
They offer scarcely any mark, and are considerably
lower in the water than the French boats or ours
of similar construction. The reason of this is,
that ours were built for offence, and intended to be
able to cross the German Ocean or any sea. These
Russian boats would not live in alleavy sea, nor
could they safely venture far from shelter ; but in
these land-locked waters, to seize their time, to
creep abnit, or to aid in the defence of au assailed
port, they are perfectly sefficient in quality,
although not in number. Tue Emperor appeared
on the -water at 11, and after the boats had ma-
noeuvred he steamed back toPeterhoff.

This was the great naval review not only of the
Russian Baltic fleet which has lived through the

war, but of the new fleet•of Russian mortar-boats
which may be said to have been born of it, and
which, having silently and rapidly come into exist-
ence, made their first grand, open, and avowed
appearance on the morning in question. It was a
remarkably lucky day for a sight-seer to arrive.
To this review Sir Charles Napier, inasmuch as
he was on a visit to Russia and in the neighbour-
hood, received a special invitation from the High
Admiral of the empire, the Grand Duke Constan-
tine. Before mentioning more particularly the im-
posing demonstration, through the midst of which
our steamer happened to have its way to take, I
may mention that the kind of attention which the
Russian Court and authorities showed to Sir C.

Napier (whose visit, in the first instance, took
them completely by surprise) was, while perfectly
courteous, acidulated with a fine and delicate fla-
vour of irony, which seems to have been quite lost
upon the perceptive power of the gallant admiral.
Your readers can judge for themselves ; and I will
mention one or two incidents of Sir Charles's visits
and sojourn, because they are characteristic of
other persons as well as that of the well known offi-
cer, and because the whole style in which he
brought himself into contact with Russia on this
occasion is curious. The very first direct intimation
conveyed to him, after his presence iu St. Paters-
burg had been notified to the higher powers, was
couched in phrases which would have made many a
man wince. He was told that orders had been given
at Cronstadt and elsewhere to receive him, should
he desire to look through these places; and he was
politely assured that he would not now experience
any difficulty in entering the various fortresses.
At the same time, the Grand Duke Constantine
ordered a steamer to be stationed in the river, just
under the windows of Sir Charles's rooms, on the
English quay, and a Russian officer informel the
visitor that this vessel was for his special behoof
and accommodation • but first he was begged to
repair at once to ;he Grand Mike's residence,
" the Marble Palace." Sir Charles forthwith
donned his Russian cross of St. George (received
.long ago for the St. Jean d'Acre hit), and waited on
the Grand Duke. The manner in which the gallant
admiral had notified his presence, in the first in-
stance outside Cronstadt, was droll. The steamer,
according to custom, had dropped her anchor
about a mile or two beyond that fortress, abeam
of the Russian guardship. On board this last it
happened to be dinner hour ; and, therefore, no
attention was for some time paid to the English
vessel, which was obliged to tarry thus until she
had been visited and her papers had been inspected
by the proper officers from the guard-ship. Sir
Charles became dreadfully impatient after having
examined all he could see from that position of the
Russian. fleet. He had steamed through a large
division of it some 10 or 15 miles further seaward,
where about a score line-of-battle ships and frigates
had gone out, and where they have been every day
for some weeks, exercising and manoeuvring in the
Gulf of Finland. The sight produced a high state
of mettle and excitement in the gallant admiral,
who exclaimed, " Ah, if those chaps had only come
out that far when I was in command, perhaps they
wouldn't ha'e caught it I"
Finding that the guard-ship continued absorbed
in dinner, Sir Charles called up the chief officer,
gave him his card, and told him to board the Rus-
sian vessel with that in his hand. The result an-
swered his wishes. A boat came alongside imme-
diately, and the aerial telegraph of the guard-ship
began to fling about its arms in a style which
quickly set those of the Cronstadt semaphore in
motion. Thus the gallant admiral literally sent
up his card to Russia, and found her at home.
When the officers came aboard they were attacked
forthwith by Sir Charles by a thick discharge of
questions—a fire which they promptly returned by
the most astounding declarations. Sir Charles
pointed towards Oranienbaum, the beautiful groves
of which came down to the water's edge, close on
the right hand—" Have you any gulls there?"
" Yes—some 14 batteries.' " And there? point-
ing to Peterhoff. "Oh yes, about a hundred guns
there."
These batteries are wonderfully well concealed,
for at least at Peterhoff I defy any visitor to detect
them. Sir Charles, however, seemed to believe
the answers he thus obtained. At the quay in St.
Petersburg a crowd of people' were collected to see
the admiral disembark. When be went to Peter-
hoff he proceeded in his off-hand way straight to
the Emperor's palace, and demanded of a servant
in the grounds whether his Majesty was there ?
The man could not speak any language that Sir
Charles spoke (or rather vice versa), but an English
gentleman translated the question, and then tran-
slated the answer, which was that Alexander 11.
was not there, but at his farm, a little distance off.
No appearance of mystery or reticence was observed
towards Sir Charles in any of the warlike esta.

ST. PETERSBURG, AUG. 6.
Many persons in England will be interested and
edified, not to say suprised, on learning the nature
of those rural employments or recreations which,
in Alexander IL's case, aro beguiling the retire-
ment so usual with the Czars at this season. Just
)ehind the green woods of Peterhoff, and visible
from a deck in Cronstadt Roads, rise beyond the
golden towers of the summer palace the hills where
the late 113peror liioholas used to delight to ex-

ercise numerous hosts in mimic warfare; there,
*tend, at Krasnoe Seloe, or the Red Village, the
great summer camps, where the Guards, the army
of the north, detachments from. " the army of
Finland," and detachments from all the other corps
stationed throughout the empire, were wont to
be marhalled, reviewed, marched, counter-Marched,
and rnauceuvrcd. Doubtless such exercises will
net be much intermitted, far less will they be
altogether abandoned. But in a despotic State.the
heart, the devotion which the Sovereign throws into
his several occupations is everything ; and Alexan-
der, while passing the interval before his departure
for Moscow to receive the crown of his immense
realm, amidst such solemnities as never before sig-
nalised a Russian monarch's coronation, is busy
with all his soul—doing what ? Why, attending to,
and perfecting, a model farm which he has got, and
with which lie means to beat Mr. Mechi, giving
him nine degrees of latitude as odds in climate,
and about the same number of years, I suppose, as
a start, in the race of time. It is amidst such
scenes 'and such cares that the little Czarevitch and
the Emperor's three other children are opening
their eyes upon the new politics of Europe, the
close of a terrible war in their country's history,
arid the inauguration of an era unprecedented for
the direction and the activity of its industrial
hopes.

Had an ambassador from France or England dis-
embarked just at this season six years ago, and
learned, as he placed his foot on the broad granite
pavement of the c!oan, open, shiny, custom-house
quay, opposite the Angliskaia Nebrashnaya, that
the Emperor was not in St. Petersburg, he would
have anticipated the . reply to,.the_next query,
which, indeed, would have .been put In a leading
form Somewhat thus : "Ah ! I presume he is at
Krasnoe-Seloe camp ?" It would never have oc-
curred to him to say "the Peterhoff model farm."
Before going to Moscow I hope to have a look at
this agricultural experiment, and to give you some
details about it.
Tue Coronation will not take place till the end of
August, old style (which will carry us into the se-
cond week of September). The Emperor is not yet
gone to Moscow, though every day the railway
groans wi th tons ofcuriosi ty in the shape ofpassengers
hurrying to lodge themselves cheaply, and, there-
fore, early; and tons of splendour in the shape of
furniture, housings, Wood horses, plate, arc. His
Majesty is at Pe' erhoff in the summer palace. Lord
Wodehouse is in his pretty country house along the
same coast. Lord Granville has not arrived, but
was supposed yesterday to be off Cronstadt. Splen-
did preparations are made for his brief sojourn
here at Demonth's Hotel, near the Politzeusky, or
Police Bridge, off the Nevsky. M. de Morny is
still also waited for. Their horses have come (two
of M. de Moray's, which died at sea, excepted),
and have unspeakably affected Russian enthu-
siasm. I don't t link the Ambassadors will be
better appreciated. Sir Ch tries Napier was at the
review with the Grand Duke Constantine and the
Emperor.
I cannot better occupy your space, or my own
time, at this moment than in saying a few words
about tie nature of the Northern trip to Russia,
and the general comparative excellence of the va-
rious m; .des in which it is accomplished. There is
every reason to believe that it will become widely
popular and commonly used ; and that the charac-
ter of the 'wea.ther during the time of year when the
Journey can be made with the most pleasure will
compensate passengers for the proportionably brief
season in which they can still command an abun-
dant choice of lines, converging ultimately in a
common destination. The summer of the north is
short ; but it is so beautiful and resplendent, that
only those who have sojourned amidst its too fleet-
ing glories can ever picture to themselves anything
approaching the reality. Association has done as
much as nature to invest the classic regions of
Europe with the charms which, for nearly twenty
centuries, have drawn to the shores of the Medi-
terranean, in occasional visits, all who had the
leisure and the means. But if history has dwelt
chiefly in the south, it issued at least from the
north.

To leave, however, all old world reflections,
it is enough that recent events have made
a new and permanent addition to the interest
of the Scandinavian coasts and waters; as well as
to that of the great empire of which they form on
one side the lodge-gates and avenues ; that another
and a still greaser interest, the commercial, has
not only sprung into redoubled activity, in order
to recover the, losses of an interruption, but has
now found here many new forms of development ;
and that all this has occurred at a moment when

the means of t ransit, transport, and business are '
so marvellously increased that, even in the ab-
sence of the vast reciprocal capabilities which pro-
duce traffic between one land and another, they
would induce the communication and allure the
intercourse which they render easy and assured.
So great, indeed, just at this instant, is the rush
towards Northern Russia (which is reached, of
course, with less expense than the opposite quar-
ter, now made so fatnilar to millions by an expedi-
tion collected, in its civil and military composition,
from all the homes of France and England)—so
great is this rush that, for a while, certain com-
panies and capitalists among our all-undertaking
world of business contemplated establishing ex-
cursions to Russia. But even this age is unripe
for that as a payine. speculation. Were it other-
wise, it were indeed' an excursion worth making.
The change is inconceivable, and therefore the
mental shock or stimulus is complete. No very
great enlargement of the ideas—no very effective
rousing of the "dazed" and jaded faculties of the
individual, whom a stationary life and a monoto-
nous experience may have mesmerised into a species
of mechanical sleep-awake state—can be obtained
by journeying su idanly from the capital of a coun-
try to one of own towns a few hours distant,
presenting the same aspect in miniature, resound-
ing with the same speech, arranged, governed,
dressed, educated in the same manner ; nothing
different except size, while language, habits,customs,
looks, principles, in the smaller place are all pre-
cisely such as were left behind at the bigger. A
change of air, no doubt, is procured ; but the mind,
as well as the body, requires to change its atmo-
sphere now and then.
Unluckily, the expense of a summer trip to Mos-
cow must remain considerable ; and the only
question in such a case is not what everybody would
like, or what would do anybody good—but what is
the state of one's purse. It is a very trifling mino-
rity who need not trouble themselves with that con-
sideration ; and knowing this, the traveller to
Moscow from England or France, during the last
week or two, cannot fail to have been struck with
the prodigious number, increasing as he advanced,
who were hurrying to the same destination. The
approaching Coronation in the ancient capital of
Russia is the one great topic of conversation in
the steam-boat, on the railway, in the inn, along the
entire road or line from the German Ocean to the
frontiers of Poland. It is not only to be the most
splendid Coronation that ever occurred in Russia,
but the most splendid public ceremonial of any kind
ever held among a people singularly fond of spec-
tacles, and by a Government which unites in its
festivals the barbaric pomp of Asia, and the skilful
taste of Europe, with Vie forms of the most gorgeous
church that has ever existed on earth, and the sub-
sidiary aids of military displays nowhere else exhi-
bited on so large a scale, or with such diversity of
costumes, uniforms, and equipments. All these
imposing elements are to be collected in a city
itself the most interesting in the empire, and the
link between the two oldest and greatest of conti-
nents ; where Asia, blazing in her jewels and her
gold, yet only just this side of the pathless
forest and of the sea-like steppe, emerges from
them to gaze upon Europe. No pains, no expense,
no circumstance of martial state, no engine of
religious excitement, is to be spared by the Rus-
sian Government. But this is not all ! The
embassies of foreign countries—and, above all,
those of England and France—nay, the very mul-
titude of opulent private persons flocking in great
state to the scene will serve to render Alexander
the Second's Coronation a subject of talk hereafter
among the Russian population, when old people
will relate that they witnessed it, "in the holy
mother-city of Russia," during the days of their
childhood. Nor will the external magnificence and
strangeness, which are undoubtedly destined to
characterise this grand solemnity, exhaust the
whole interest of it. It is to be the great "make-
up," not only after the late war, but after the rais-
takes and cross-purposes of the last half century;'
and over this "cloth of gold " Russia is to step
into the European circle, and take her place once
and for all as a valued, a pacific, a sinc.Te member
of the general community. Finally, this Corot,a-
. tiou is not like the Great Exhibition, which would
remain long, and might be visited at any time. On
the contrary, it will be soon over, and the like may
never b seen again.
Such, very briefly, are some of the leading points
which have occupied the thoughts and tongues of
he.travellers ono met, or overtook, or happened to
be overtaken by, while traversing the intervening
stages. And one very commonly-expressed appre-
hension was? that Moscow WOlll4 be do Qvurwheluz-
