RUSSIA.

From a report presented to the EMPEROR by the
Minister of the Interior, for the year 1848, it ap-
pears that the total number of Russian subjects be-
longing to foreign communities amount to 8,785,719
individuals of both sexes, more than half of that
number, viz., 4,911,449, profess the Christian reli-
gion,
and the 3,874.260 are Mlhometans, Jews, or
idolators. The number of Roman Catholics is
276,764, with 2,264 churches; that of the Armenian
Catholics 20,000, with 44 churchrs ; Gregorian Ar-
meniar, 354,521, with 1,017 churches or chapels.
The Protestant religion numbers 1,732,299 indivi-
duals, 900 churches ; the Ilahemetans comprehend
2,286,983 individuals, with. 6 084 mosques. The re-
ligion of Lama numbers 215,209 adherents, with 293
houses c f prayer. The number of idolators amounts
to 153,343.
The Post Gazette of Frankfort of the 14th publishes
a letter from the frontier of Poland of the 9th which
announces the advance of a large body of Russian
troops towards the south.

CAWNET CotmcxL.—Suinmonses were issued yes-
terday afternoon to the whole of the members of the
Cabinet for a council at the Foreign-office, on Monday
next, at two o'clock.

We have reason to believe that in the House of
Lords Lord Essex will propose, and Lord Methuen

CBEMORNE GARDENS. There seems to exist a
fit ality against the prosperity f caterers for the out-door
amusements of the public. The proprietors of Vaux-
C'remorne, and the Flora Tea Gardens have one
after the other graced the London Gazette. In the in-.
stance of Cretnorne House deficiency of patronage is not
alleged as the cause of Mr. Ellis, the proprietor's, insol-
vency or failure, but rather may be attributed to a too
flattering demonstration of its support. Ellis was led
by the great influx t f visitors to an outlay for their
amusement and accommodation far too lavish and beycnd
his ratans. The refrsal ef a licence for music to the
Adelaide Gallery closed suddenly the resources pre-
viously at his command for meeting his engagements,
and the result was bankruptcy. The o,tablishment
which his speculative mind reared into so desirable a
place of resort will not, it is gratifying to know, be scat-
tered or deslroYed by the rut Ide.4hn ofands otfhteheAnuibeitoino, inneer
and brokers. Mr. T. 13. Simpson
Russell-street, Air. Ellis's principal creditor, has ar-
ranged with the assignees by the payment of a I urge
sum i f money and stayed tl e threatered devasta ;ion.
The public may therefore expect next snmmer to see
Simpson at ti,e head of affairs, and if he pro is as g -sod
a eatei er on the banks e f tl e Thames as he has 0 one
for the last 25 years at the Albion, he cannot fail to :lye
universal nth-faction

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEW`.

CFI V, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotten at Liverpool yesterday wero
estimated at from 8,000 t 9,000 balo.s, of which nearly
one-third were taken on speculation. The market was
firm and more active.—Lo ltailaivy Shares a good busi-
ness was done at advanced pricee.
The important changes in the Bank of England
weekly account to the 12th inst. are all more or less
ref,rtible to the dividend and other quarterly payments,
and it is consequently difficult to estimate the influence
of any other causes that might have been in operation.
The bullion decreased, and the circulation was greatly
extended, while the loans made upon other securities
were repaid to a considerable extent. The public dc-
posits were drawn upon heavily, and the bankers and
others were enabled to add materially to their private
balances. Compared with the previous week the return
exhibits the following changes:—

A public meeting of the holders of Mexican Bonds
has been convened f ,r, Wednesday next, to take into
consideration the expediency of forming a new com-
mittee expressly devoted to the interests of this class of
creditors, to adopt some plan for the payment of Mr. W.
Parish Robertson's expenses, and fur the obtainment of
the remaining ins alment of one fourt'i due upon the
dividend. In order, we presume, to put the bond-
holders in full possession of the real state of the case as
between Messrs. Schneider and the Mexican Govern-
ment, the correspondence lately sent to the committee is
now published, and from this we gather that the Finance
Minister at Mexico miscalculates the amount of the
debt, that the late agents charge upon the remittances,
certain sums paid to Mr. Murphy and Mr. O'Brien
by official order, and that upon this showing
they still require over 10,3004 to meet the
remanets. It is probable that the amount paid to the
members of the Legation was not included when Messrs.
Schneider, some months since, intimated that they only
wanted between 6,0001. and 7,0001. to make up the divi-
dend, and, if so, charging the bondholders therewith is
evidently as after-thought. Unquestionably the Mex-
ican Government ought at once, from its separate funds,
to discharge this just and trivial liability, but we still
contend that this is no affair of the creditors, and if
Messrs. Schneider were to retain the agency, and the
whole of the remittances were paid into the Bank of
England, as they state they would be quite willing should
be the case, it is obvious that no legation expenses would
be paid therefrom. The matter is now coming to a
crisis, however, and we are heartily glad of it, for the
bondholders by co-operation, by energetic remonstrance,
by the able assistance of Mr. Robertson, and by the
formation cf an active working committee, may speedily
raise to a fairer standard the value and publio es-
timation of their investment. Messrs. Schneider deny
the right t f the Government to take away the agency :
they may dispute the justice, but the right who can
doubt ?

The amount of bullion exported from London direct
during the week to Thursday last was 22,000 ounces
of silver and 25,000 ounces of gold, all to Belgium and
France.

The letters received this morning from the manufac-
turing districts are favourahle, acd a rife in fabrics is
expected to meet the advance in the staple.
The English Funds have rallied considerably this
morning, but thcre is not much doing. Consols have
besn 96i to 97 for Transfer, and 964 to 97 for Ac-
count, being now 961- to 97. The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have realised 98:1 to 99i. Exche-
quer-bills continue at 58s. to 61r. premium, and India

firmer at 19 to 4. Dutch Four per Cent•. realise 86.
Railway Shares are buoyant, and generally dearer.
