Accounts from the frontiers of Mbldavia state;
that the Moldavian and Wallachian emigrants have
obtained permission from Vienna to remain on the
frontiers till the month of May. One of the Boyards
who had returned to Bucharest, was arrested on his
arrival. It seems that the troubles in Li ttleWallachist
are of no importance. Four Bulgarians, who had
assassinated a Turk, took refuge in the Russian terri-
tory, but the Russian Authorities have ordered them
to be delivered up to the 'NI ks.

The Council of State of the canton of Friburg, after
a debate of two days, -has suppressed the Schools of
mutual instruction throughout the whole Canton,.
The votes for and against the system being equals
the negative vote of the President decided. It was
in vain that the Council of Education had given its
opinion i.: favour of this method. It is thought that
the Great Council swill be convoked in May rit will
have to discuss the plan which will be laid before it
for a new system of education, the basis of which is
to be simultaneous instruction.
Letters from Petersburgh, dated the 11th ult. men.;
tion a curious instance of disaffection to the Russian
Autocrat among the peasantry of the government of
Witepsk, who, though recently released from bond-
age, and actually vested with a right to the Firoduce
of their own labour, have had the ingratitude to an-
swer this benefit by a refusal to pay their taxes.-4
They have even gone so far as to insult an imperial
agent sent thither to remonstrate with them, and hard
had the audacity to address a letter to the Empress
Dowager, in which they accuse the Emperor him-
self of injustioe! It has been found necessary to dis-
patch troops to the province to put down the rising
disaffection. We may notice, by the way, that this
appears to be the only authentic account yet received
of any movements of Russian troops.
LEIPSIG FAIR.—A letter from Leipsic gives rather
an unfavourable account of the commencement of the
fair, as well for silk good., English manufactures,
and articles of luxury, as for Saxon, and other Ger-
man manufactures. There are scarcely any pur-
chasers from Poland and Russia,: those countries be-
ing, as it Were, hermetically sealed by the new regu-
lations of the Custom's: from Moldavia and Walla-
chia purchasers are few, because trade is entirely at
a stand in those Principalities, and ready money very
scarce. In one article, however; the business done at the
beginning of the fair has been very considerable and
profitable contrary to expectation; namtly, in arin.
nary and middling Prussian and Saxon woollen
cloths, which have been readily purchased ak.good
prices. The warehouses belonging-to several places •
(froth 2000 to 3000 pieces) are wholly cleareditry.
which considerable sums go to Prussian and Slott '
manufacturing towns. Fine -cloths also, froiti-ihre

punishment in consequence of the bill of indictment,
before the Grapd Jury, being altered so as to expunge

charged with " stealing a dwelling-house I instead of
" stealing from a dwelling-house."

AIAY Y.IN EDINBURGH!`• •

.-: ..

Thursday being .1114 y-clay, about sun-tise a nu-
merous group of young men and nymphs tnarchect
in procession to the martial sound of the bag-pipe,'
t? Arthur's Seat, to welcome in the 'day. .We are
happy to find that the present generation are disposed
to keep alive the days of amid lang syne,-so beautifully
described-by our immortal Poet,.ltobert Ferguson:
" What make Auld Ralik's dames sae fair ?
T• r Anna be the halesotne air,
But calkr burn beyond compare
The best of ony,
That gars them a' sic graces stair,
And blink sae bonny!

" On May-day, in a fairy ring,
V.";.'ve seen them round St. Anthon's spring,
Fra:: grass the caller dew-drags wring
To weet their ein,
And water clear as crystal spring,
To synd them clean!
" 0 may they still pursue the way,
'ln look sae teat, sae clean, sic gay ! •
Then shall their beauties glance like May,
And, like her, be
The goddess of the vocal spray,
The Muse and me!'
The young folks continued to assemble till between
9 and 10 o'clock ; and so great was the concourse at
me time, in this seqtiestered and romantic situation,
that it reminded some present of the description given
by our forefathers, of the meetings held by the Co-
venanters of old.
