A letter from St. Petersburg of the Ist says:—'.
"Tile Journal of the Ministry of the Interior has
just published some information respecting the
opening of committees for the emancipation of serfs
in several provinces of Russia. It appears from it
that committees were opened at St. Petersburg
n the 26th Jan., at Vilno and Nijnii-Novgorod on
the 3cl March (anniversary of the Emperor's acces-
sion to the throne), and at Kovno on the 18th of
the same month. The committees of Vilno, Grodno,
and Kovno were opened by the Governor-Geusral
in person, and immediately after these bodies
drew up a programme of their deliberations. At
Njnii-Novgorod the military governor, the nobles,
and the public functionaries, after attending
divine service, assembled in the Nobles' Meeting
House, where Bishop Antony gave his bene-
diction to the committee, and delivered a
suitable address. General Mouravieff was called
to the chair, and delivered an eloquent speech on
the object of the meeting. Captain Beltine, of the
navy, Marshal of the Nobles, replied in their n Imo
that they felt the greatest sympathy for the im-
portant undertaking commenced, and their desire
to see it brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The
first sitting of the committee took place on the 4th
March, and in it a programme of deliberations was
decided on ; in the following sittings various mat-
ters were discussed. The committees of Tau°,
Grodno, and Kovno are composed of wealthy nobles.
Baron Dorf, councillor of state, and other official
dignitaries, belong to that of St. Petersburg."
