RUSSIA.

A ceremony, not perhaps quite suitable to present
circumstances, took place at Moscow on the 4th,
when the anniversary of the abandonment of that
city by the French in 1812 was celebrated with
p`freat pomp. The metropolitan bishop, Philaretis,

officiated. After the liturgy a procession took
place round the. Kremlin, the great bells of the
cathedral ringing all the while.

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw of the llth, in the Debatx,
says :—" Among the concessions for which Poland
is indebted to the Emperor Alexander 11. is that
of great liberty granted to literary works. The
e msorship which was formerly so severe for every
work printed in the kingdom or imported from
abroad is now much less so. Several pamphlets
which recently appeared are sold publicly. These
works treat on questions of public utility,
point out to the Government the material wants
of the country, and the means by which the
condition of the working classes in both town and
country might be benefited. Our journals and
these of Russia now discuss the great material
questions on the order of the day, and it is rek
marked that, in the circles, in the cafes, and other
places of public resort, foreign journals, particu-
larly those of France and Germany, may be read,
and it is very rare that they are now seen with
large black patches, from articles being intention-
ally illegible, which were formerly so often seen on
them. Since the peace several corps of Russian
troops have left Poland and returned to the in-
terior of the empire, but the garrison of this city
and of the fortified places near the Austrian fron-
tiers of Gallicia are still kept on a war footing.
The other frontiers, particularly those of Prussia,
are but weakly guarded."
SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th do not contain
any political news of interest. The Gazette says
that the bishops of Salamanca and Pampeluna hare
sent addresses to the Queen thanking her for the
concordat. It was said that Count do San Luis con-
templated becoming a candidate for Cuenca at the
approaching elections for the Cortes. A letter says
that there was no truth in the report that was cur-
rentthat M. Bazanallana was about to be replaced
in the Ministry of Finance by M. Seijas. It says
also that the proposed formation of a ministerial
department for the colonies had been abandoned,
in consequence of the nomination of M. Gonzales
Bravo, who had been intended for it, to the em-
bassy at London.

A letter from Turin of the 13th says The
King is about to set off immediately for Nice, where
he will remain until the middle of December, and
then return to Turin for the opening of the Legis-
lative session, which will take place, it is said, on
the 20th of that month. His Majesty will after-
wards return to Nice, and remain for a great part
of the winter."

THE P09.-LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.
TEIRAE LIVES LOST.

A. lamentable occurrence took place during a dense
fog which prevailed on Monday evening, in the vicinity
of Hackney-wick-lane, at the south-eastern extremity of
Victoria-park, which resulted in the loss of three lives.
On the towing-path of Sir George Duckett's Canal, near
the North London Railway arch, lived a man named
Hayes, who bad charge of the lock gates, his wife, and
five children. On Monday afternoon a Mrs. Chubb, the
wife of a cooper, living in Ben Jonson-street, Stepney,
accompanied by her daughter, a fine little girl, about
six years of age, called to see Mrs. Hayes. About half-
past 7 the two females and child left, and, although the
fug was so dense as to prevent the water being distin-
guished from the land, they strangely enough proceeded
along the towing-path for the purpose of meeting Hayeg,
who at the time was returning from the upper lock gate.
Nothing more was seen or heard of them until yester-
day morning, when their bodies were discovered in
the canal. It appears that Hayes reached his borne
a few minutes after they had left, without seeing any-
thing of them, and was almost immediately called out by
cries of " Help." He ran down to one of the lower
locks, and found a private watchman, attached to some
neighbouring new works, had fallen into the canal, and
was struggling for life. Hayes after some difficulty got
him out, and had him removed to his own house, where
he recovered. The night passed without bearing an,'
Hinge of the missing women. At length, however, about
half-past eight, a brother-in-law of Hayes discovered the
body of a little girl floating on the water of the lock, and,
having got it out, identified it as that of the child of
Mrs. Chubb. The drags were then usfd, and near the
spot, just outside the lock, where there is s.evenefee_t_reof.

lent 20,0001. to the London Dock Company on its bonds

the market, some surprise is expressed at this operation.
TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—Our noir'
ket remains as quiet as it has been for a considerable
time past. Some descriptions of yarns keep pretty firm'
,h
but for others a small decline has been submitted to with
a view to secure some orders. Cotton, on the whole, is
very steady and tends to the support of our market, but,
nevertheless, it is satisfactory to find that, with the Pre-
judicial influences at work, and the comparatively little
there is doing, our staples maintain themselves as well
as
they do. There is no doubt, however, that the wile"
producing power for manufacturing is not put forth.
PRICE OF DOLLARS.—The dollars received by the,
Mexican packet have been sold at 611 d., an advance °f
id, on the price realised for those brought by the earl
6eptember steamer. In the interval, however, higher
rates were paid for limited amounts, dollars being veil
scarce.
