HAMBURGH MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAT.)
ST. PETERSBURG'', FEB. 15.—The city of Moscow having
been founded in the year 1147, will celebrate, in 1847, the
seventh century of its existence. The Emperor wishes the
iron railway between the two capitals of the empire to be
completed by that time; but there are great difficulties in
the construction. This is especially the case in respect to
the Waladi chain of mountains between Moscow and Tuere.
It is calculated, too, that besides the canals which the rail-
way will have to cross, there are six large, and twenty-four
smaller rivers, over which bridges must be built. Further
difficulties will be caused by the morasses between the river
Msta and Volga. The whole length of the railway will be
400 (English) miles.—Allgemeine Zeitung, March 2.
POSEN, FEB. 24.—Yesterday the excommunication and
degradation of the Rev. M. Czerski, formerly a Roman Ca-
tholic priest, and now Pastor Apostolic of the Christian Ca-
tholic Church at Schnei de Muhl, was published in all the
Roman Catholic churches in this city. This measure, the
consequences of which were formerly so formidable, made no
great impression. People say, what now ? And we should
like to know what the Consistory will answer.
ST. PETERSBURG'', FEB. 4.—For nearly three weeks we
had excessively •cold weather, the mercury in Reaumur's
thermometer being from 23 to 25 degrees below zero (28 de-
grees below zero, or 60 below freezing point of Fahrenheit).
Yesterday we had an extraordinary fall of snow the whole
day, since which the weather has become less severe, the
cold being now only 10 degrees Reaumur below zero.

Died on the 6th inst., at New-street, Covent-garden,
aged 64, M. Nugent, Esq., for many years one of the Parlia-
mentary reporters of the Times. The zeal, fidelity, and ability
with which, through more than a quarter of a century, Mr.
Nugent devoted his varied talents and acquirements to the
service of that journal, mest justly secured for him the respect
and confidence of its conductors; while in private life his
manly, frank, and generous qualities deservedly endeared him
to his colleagues and a numerous acquaintance, by one and
all of whom his memory will be long cherished.
PHILANTHROPIC SOClETY.—Yesterday the annual
general court of the corporation was held at the London
Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of electing mem-
bers of the committee and other officers for the year ensuing,
and to receive the statement of the accounts for the past
year. The ,chair was occupied by E. Bilke, Esq. The re-
port was unanimously adopted. It appeared that the outlay
in this establishment has during these last few years mate-
rially exceeded the income, and it has consequently been
found necessary to touch upon the funded stock. The re-
ceipts of the past year, including subscriptions, donations,
dividends, ground-rent, &c., amounted to 3,860/. 11s. 3d., and
the expenditure to 4,1761. 2s. 6d., being 3151. I Is. 3d. more
than the receipts, notwithstanding 1,41001. stock bad been
sold out during the year. In order to meet future contin-
gencies, it was decided to sell out 2,0001. more from the re-
maining funded property, which now amounts to about
15,0001., in addition to the freehold and other property be-
longing to the corporation. The committee and other
officers haying been elected, thanks were awarded to the
chairman, secretary, &c., and the meeting broke up.
CAUTION TO 'YOUNG WoatEN.—One day last week
a young woman took her place in the late train from Brigh-
ton to Hayward's Heath, and soon got into a lively conver-
sation with two of her fellow-passengers—gay Lotharios--
in which she became so absorbed as to notice nothing else,
so that the train passed Hayward's Heath, and went on to
London. When she got to the station there, she observed to
one of the officers that they had been a long time getting to
Hayward's Heath. " Hayward's Heath !', said the man,
" why you are in London." Such was the fact. The girl
burst into tears, and said she had not a farthing about her,
and was much distressed to know what she was to do to ob-
