RUSSIA.

ST. PETulalmaon.—The houses of fit..Petersburgh,
are in general four stories high, with roofs of sheet
irono.painted green and ted, so that during a heavy fall
of rain, the noise is similar to peals of thunder. Many
of the fronts are decorated with columns, and also'
Painted* Yet so far is uniformity of hue from being
studied, that it is commanded by the police that no two
adjoining houses are to be of the same colour. Con-
sidering that this is the metropolis; the shops must be
allowed tq make a paltry appearance, especially when
compared with the display of those both of London and
Paris; neither do they make such a brilliant appear.
ance after dirk ai those of the latter capitals.
Many of the principal shops, or rather show-rooms,
are up stairs, and several under ground. It is remark-
able that, notwithstanding this city is visited with light-
ning, as was the case to a very great degree a hen we
were here, there are no conductors on the was of
buildings. Chininies are not 'cleaned by means of
climbing-boys as in England, but after the mode in
Scotland. ,The sweep stands on the top of the chimney,
and introduces into it a large brush attached to
iron ball or bullet, which drops down, and which he
draws up and down, so that the soot is soon cleated
away; yet. the pressure of this apparatus against the
sides of. the chimney must injute it, especially if it iii
built of brick. If such an operation was introduced
into England. it would entirely supersede the necessity 1
of making use of climbing buy., at such ti:lts to hfe
and health. and humanity calls for the adoption of it:
Every, hope ha: a gateway for carriages, a her, by the'

ptovement which has been evidently accomplished at,
groat expense. and much benefit is derived from it,
dating an inundation, as the water' is let off More
quickly. The gutters run in the centre of the streets,:
as in the French capital. The city is badly 'lighted,
and the lamps are .eaceedingly clumsy. Watchmen
