The Russian Government has established savings'
banks at St. Petersburgh and Moscow, in connection
with the banks of those cities. The minimum of a
single deposit is to be half a silver rouble (21r.), and
the maximum 10 roubles (41fr.)

The Moniteur Belge publishes royal decrees which
order General Paine to be put on the non-active service
list, and M, Feigneaux, member of the Medical Commis-
sion of Brabant, to be revoked from his functions. These
measures are caused by the supposed implication of these
persons in the late conspiracy. A letter of General
Daine's was said to contain the phrase—" Comptez sur
moi, je serai pret avec tout ma meute."
The letter from the Queen of England to the King
of Prussia, inviting his Majesty to the christening of the
Prince of Wales, is stated by the Hamburgh Correspon-
dent to have been couched in the kindest terms. Among

other expressions occur the following :—" I shall regard
it as a favourable augury for the happiness of my child
if your Majesty and my very dear cousin will hold him
in person over the baptismal font."

The St. Petersburgh papers remark that the winter
has hardly ever been known to be so mild in Russia. At
Wassili Ostrow, some daisies and primroses just blown
were gathered in the open air on the 13th ult.
At a recent sitting of the Grand Council of Argau, in
Switzerland, the sale of the possessions of the convents
was ratified by a formal vote. This measure was
adopted, as the lVarrateur of St. Gall states, in conse-
quence of the vacillation shown on this subject by the
Helvetic Diet.

A correspondent at Borne writes to the Augsburg Ga-
zette on the 21st ult., that official notice had been com-
municated to the Auditor-General, :lire. Acton, and the
Governor of Rome, lire. Casoni, that they were to be
immediately created Cardinals. Mrs. Trollope had been
presented to his Holiness.
A Vienna letter, 25th ult., in the Gazette of Upper
Germany, says that Sir Robert Gordon had presented an
invitation on the part of the Queen of Great Britain to
the Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg to come to London
and stand as ono of the sponsors for the Prince of Wales.
His Serene Highness, it adds, is to be represented by
the Saxon Minister at the Court of St. James's on this
occasion, and the Duchess Dowager of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha by the Duchess of Kent.

The festival of Ste. Genevieve commences this day, and
lasts till the 11th inst. inclusively. During this period,
several grand masses will be pertbrmed in the church of
Saint Etienne-du-Mont, where the shrine of the Saint is,
and a solemn procession will take place in the edifice on
the last day.

A young woman, fashionably dressed, was detected,
three days ago, in the act of stealing a rich inkstand from
the show-rooms of Messrs. Susse, on the Place de la
Bourse. She had entered with the apparent purpose of
making purchases, and had seized the opportunity of
secreting the object in question under her cloak, without
being perceived as she imagined. She was immediately
taken into custody, and on her lodgings being searched
numerous articles of the same kind, obtained by similar
means from other shops, were found. The Commissary
of Police for the quarter has committed her for trial.
RAISING TILE WIND.—A gay youth of Paris, having
by his extravagance worn out the liberality of his pa-
rents, and exhausted his credit even with the usurers,
was on the point of " yielding to his fate," when the
following bright idea struck him. He went to a cunning
little Isaac, and proposed to give him a bill for 2,000 f.,
upon which the Jew, without advancing a single sous,
was to arrest him and confine him in the debtor's prison,
young Hopeful being convinced that his father would im-
mediately pay the money and release him. Upon this
Isaac was to retain all Ins costs with a handsome pre-
mium for his agency, and hand over the rest to his prin-
cipal. The first part of the plan was executed quickly
but the second failed ; for the young man's friends, de-
termining to punish him for his follies, resolved to leave
him in his new lodgings, and Isaac was obliged to let
him out, or continuo to pay the monthly allowance of 30f.,
ordered by
.law to be paid by every creditor for the sup-
poft of his incarcerated debtor.
