A letter from Frankfort 'states that the result of the
late explosion of a firework -manufactory in that city ire,,
more serious than was at first mentioned. Seven bo4is';
have already been taken out from the ruins-4hose
M. Schunk, the owner, three of his children, two works
men, and a servant. The removal of all the rubbish bill
not been yet completed, and it is feared that others al
etill.buried beneath it. The . wife and the foartlichi`
of M. Schunk, and the other persons who had been g°t
..
ut and conveyed to the hospital, still remain in a per"
critical state.

In the Caspian Sea, within the last few years, the
number of merchant and naval ships has been dou-
bled. At Astrakan have been erected gigantic
buildings for the fabrication of steam-engines and
ship-building; on the shores and on several islands
have been raised forts and military ports. The
Orenburg corps d'armee has been augmented and
reorganised.
A steam fleet plies the waters of Lake Aral, and
chains of Russian forts extend along the banks of
the great rivers Sihoon and Jihoon, which fall into
this lake. Steam-ships of war also navigate Lake
Baikal, fortsand timber-yards are being constructe 1
on its shores, and in the neighbourhood military
colonies are being formed on the plan of the corps
d'armee of Eastern Siberia.
On the banks of the Amoor a corps d'armee is
being organised, fleets construcked, fortresses forti-
fied, and the Emperor Alexander, after examining
the report of the scientific and military commis-
sioners sent to reconnoitre the province of the
Armor, gave orders for the rebuilding a fortified
poi t on the plan of Cronsiadt.
This Asiatic Cronstadt is to- terminate the line
of communication commencing near the European
Cronstadt.
The carrying out of this line of communication,
thus carried on land and water by means of steam,
presents few d-fficulties. •
The Fr nch capitalists intend continuing t.)
Nishui Novgorod the railway That has been 1 id
between St. Pet -rsburg and Moscow ; from Nishni
Novgorod by the Volgoa and its tributaries the
Kama and Tobol. The Russian engineers have
traced the plans arid counted the cost of thes-
works. The Tobol leads to the Obi ; the Obi to the
Yenisei. There are only a few lea.oes by land ;
short tract of rail will unite the two rivers. Tue
river Angart, or Upper Toungouse, one of the t,i-
buta,ries of the Yenisei, joins the latter river to the
Lake Baikal, and only tune miles dist int the ma-
jestic waters of the Amoor are rolling towards the
walls of New Cronstadt. By this immense artery
the Baltic will be joined to the Pacific, and from the
centre of Russia even the capital of the Celesdal
Euipire may be leached.
The Russian Government is planning another
line of communication mote to the south.
