RUSSIA.
The Emperor of Russia has given the whole of
his fleet a new srrangemer►t, which had become
necessary in consequence of the events of the late
war. At present the Russian fleet consists of the

The Russian papers, in speaking of the new arrange.
Inents, say that the saving that will now be effected
by the abeyance of the expensive Black Sea fleet, in
conformity with the terms of the treaty of peace,
which amounts to 15,000,000 to 20,000,000, will,
in all probability, be applied to the develop-
ment and strengthening of the naval force in the
Baltic, White Sea, and Pacific Ocean. Now that
the Byzantine projects of the Emperors of Russia
are necessarily given up, at any rate for some time
to come, the nation seems to turn its eyes to the
extreme north. According to all accounts from
the shores of the White Sea, the population there
contains a hardy courageous race of men, for the
development of whose seafaring instincts hitherto
little or nothing has been done, and the land
in those parts is moreover covered with the finest
ship-building timber. The Government appears
to be as fully alive to these circumstances as the
people at large, and even before the war had com-
menced had empowered a naval officer to cut
timber in the woods on the Petschora on his own
account, agreeing to take their supply from him at
fixed prices. This plan, which seems to have been
impeded by the war, is now being resumed with
energy. It promises a good deal for the interests
of hydrography and the knowledge of the coasts of
the White Sea, and is another instance of the good-
will of the Government to commit the develop-
ment of the natural treasures of the country to the
assiduity of private speculation.

steam-ship Indus, Captain Soy, with the India and
Mediterranean mails, we have dates from Alexan-
dria to the (.kla instant ; Malta, 10th ; Gibraltar,

The Indus brings 127 passengers, and a cargo of
general goods.
The weather at Gibraltar had been very bois-
terous, and several vessels had gone ashore, but
without receiving serious damage. The British
barque Mary Wilson was on the rocks, and some
difficulty was being experienced in extricating her.
The 12th inst. was observed at Gibraltar as a
general thanksgiving for the c )nipletion of peace.
The steam-transports Thames, Clarendon, Holy-
rood, Sydney, &e., had passed Gibraltar en route
to the East.
