RUSSIAN INTRIGUES WITH CHINA.

We read the following paragraph in the Pekin
Gazette of the 10th April, 1857 :
" The Chinese Foreign-office have addressed his
Imperial Majesty to the effect that officers specially
appointed by them have carefully conducted certain
Russians back to their own country."
In a private letter, received on the 21st instant,
from the North of China, it is mentioned casually
that a Russian Imperial Commissioner had lately
been at Pekin ; that he and his suite had a short
time before gone home ; but that he would return
to Peking in a few months.

About 15 months back it wai rumoured amongst
the Chinese that the Russian Government had
lately concluded a treaty with the Emperor of
China, by which the Russian merchants were per-
mitted to carry on trade at other mar's on the
frontiers besides Kiahtka, namely, the cities of Bar-
koul, Uliasutae, Holin, and Kurun ; also, that the
Emperor of China had granted Russian merchants
`permission to trade at the Five Ports ; and, later,
it was rumoured that agents for Russian merchants
had purchazed land, on which to build warehouses
and offices, at Chusan and Shanghae.—./Vorth China

such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches,
with an extra eye-piece will show distinctly Jupiter's moons,
Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope
can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles
distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist-
