RUSSIA.

The German journals contain rumours of a revolu-
tionary agitation having been manifested in St.
Petersburgh and Moscow, especially in the upper
schools and among the students. The immediate
consequence of it has been an imperial decree pro-
hibiting the natives of Poland from entering the
high schools of the two Russian capitals and Dor-
pat ; it was even reported that these three establish-
ments would be suppressed. Another confiscation
of the estates of a political criminal had been pub-
lished in Poland; but it was distinguished from
former political acts of the same kind by a notice to
the creditors of the late proprietor to send in their
claims on him. Till now the practice has been to
collect all debts due to the possessor of the confis-
cated property for the benefit of the Government, but
all demands of his creditors were rejected. The sys-
tem has been very injutrious to public credit in
Poland, and it is believed that from consideration of
its mischievous effects it has been abandoned. •

During the stay of the Emperor at Warsaw all
the regulations of the police are enforced with the
utmost severity.

there is firmness.

existed, and former rates are not supported. At auction
252 packages of Grenada went at 39s 6d for good light
red, and at 37s 9d to 38s 6d for mid. Prices for Trinidad
very fine 37s to 475, still no decline of moment is looked

mited supply, holders are enabled to obtain 9id to Sid
per Ib, and in Medium sorts a fair businsss has been
concluded at 10d to Is, at which the market is firm, but
better kinds continua to attract little attention, and the

Scented Tea is not offered at any further reduction, but
dealers operate with caution, and several parcels are on

the early part of the week, and the parcels sold by
private treaty realised an advance of 3d per cwt. Since
Tuesday, however, not much desire has been evinced
by shippers or horns dealers to operate, and
on speculation there has been no demand,
whilst the advance previously noticed has not
been sustained. At auction 3,590 bags and 1,065 pkgs
Bengal were sold; good and fine white went at lOs to I Is,
middling and good middling 9s to 10s, broken 8s to 95,

per lb. There are few buyers of Cloves, but

but little has been done. At auction 5 cases went
at 2s 2d to 2s 3d for middling pale. Ginger is still not
much wanted by shippers or home dealers, and prices

supply. At auction 160 bags good dark rough export
Bengal sold at 163 to 16s 6d, and 116 pkgs Jamaica 773
to 1303 for ord to good middling. To-day at piblic sale
