RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Peteraburgh states that in the pro-
vince of Jakoutsky (Siberia), the surface of which is equal
to that of the whole of Europe, the Greco-Russian mis.
sionaries have constructed a kind of portable church,
which can be erected and taken down at pleasure. Its
several parts are placed on wheels, and in this way it has,
in the space of eight months, gone over the greater part
of the province. About fifteen hundred idolators have, it
is stated, during that period received baptism.
It is related of the Czar that he is very diligent in in-
specting public schools, often leaving his iron camp bed-
stead in the middle of the night tor the purpose, and,
quitting his palace on foot, enters the first hackney car-
riage he meets with :—" In one of his nocturnal excur-
sions the snow was falling in heavy flakes, and an islworst-
chik took him to one of the most distant quarters of the
city. The sledge waited for him a 'mix time. and when
the Emperor returned, he wished to pay the coachman
before he got again into the vehicle ; but he found that he
had no money. The driver replied that it was of no con-
sequence, and when the Czar was seated, he said, without
thinking, Na dolma' (home). The man whipped his
horse into a gallop, and drove to the winter palace, where
he stopped. The Emperor, surprised, asked the man if
he knew him. He replied no, and on the following night
received a royal gift, not for his veracity but his discre-
tion. In his nocturnal visits to the schools the Emperor
examines carefully the thermometers in the corridors, to
see if the persons charged with the fires keep up the pre-
scribed degree of heat. He then inspects all the rooms,
to see if they are in good order, and examines the beds of
the pupils, their linen, and their bodies, to ascertain if
they are kept with proper cleanliness. Sometimes, in
order to judge of their physical strength, he provokes
them to a wrestling match."

AMERICA.

LATEST FROM AIkIERICA

The Royal Mail steamer America arrived in our river
on Sunday morning, bringing advices from New York to
the 14th, and Boston to the 16th inst. She arrived
abreast of the Bell Buoy at 1.30 a.m. ; but, from the
density of the fig, was compelled to steam slowly up ;
and on arriving at 3.20 a.m. off the Rock; it was
deemed prudent to bring her to an anchor. Whilst
there she kept firing signal guns for the tender ; but
it was not until nine o'clock, when the fog had par-
tially cleared off, that she was boarded. The America
sailed:from Boston at noon on the 15th, and, at 5.50 p.m.,
pissed the steamer Niagara, hence for Boston. On the
16th, at 11.25 p.m., she arrived at Halifax ; and, after a
detention of 1 hour and 10 minutes to embark mails, &c.,
again proceeded to sea. On the 18th, at 5.50 p.m., she
passed the steamer Africa, hence for New York ; and on
the 19th, at noon, passed the British barque Oberon. The
America came " north about," and experienced variable
winds and weather. On the 21st and 22nd, she ran 302
miles each day. She made Rachlin island at 11.30
a.m.,
on the 25th ; anti, at 6.25 p.m., passed the steamer Asia,
hence for New York.

The United States Mail steam-ship Washington,
which left New York four days before her, only arrived
off Southampton a few hours before the America entered
the Mersey.

der, hence, arrived at New York on the 10th instant ; and

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald states that no arrangement of the fisheries ques-
tion has been come to. Admiral Seymour had received
express orders from the British government to seize every
Yankee vessel found within three miles of the colonial
shores. Negotiations it is known are to be set on foot
between Mr. Crampton, the British minister, and Mr.
Webster, and an understanding is understood to exist
between the two governments which will ensure an ami-
cable settlement of the dispute. The St. John's New
Brunswicker, and the Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce concur in stating that
no part of the rights of the colonists are to be conceded.

The American-fishermen continued to complain of the
interference of the British crnizers.

The Washington National Intelligencer contains a let-
ter from Mr. Abbot Lawrence, the U.S. Minister to Eng-
land, in which he contradicts the statement that he had
" consented, on the part of the United States, to the
mutual monopoly of the Lobos Islands between Peru and
Great Britain."

The miscellaneous advices mention the arrival, at New
York, of Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., the Prince of Nassau,
and the Prince of Neuweied. Sir Charles Lyell, the geo.
logist, was studying the geological formations of the eas.
tern part of New Brunswick. The cholera had entirely
disappeared from Buffalo. The Ericsson, of 2,600 tons,
which is to be fitted up with the caloric-engine, was to be
launched or, the 14th. The Herald states that books for
subscription to the balance of the stock of the U.S. Mail
Steam-ship Company, Collins line, would be opened on
the 15th instant.

Advices dated San Juan del Norte, Sept. Ist. mention
that Munoz, with a large number of French and Ameri-
cans, had taken that city, and was marching upon Mana-
gua. where preparation was being made to resist him.
The steam-ships Illinois and Sierra Neveda arrived at

ult., with =51,585,655 in gold dust on freight. The ac-

frequently in death. The accounts from the mines con-
tinned very favourable, many large lumps of gold having
been picked up.
At the sitting of the Canadian Parliament, on the 6th
instant, Mr. Merritt entered into a long statement for the
purpose of showing that, in justice to the colony, the
English Government should impose such restrictions upon
the produce of America as the United States Government
placed on the produce of Canada. After a brief discus-
sion, in the course of which Mr. Dixon and other mem-
bers pointed out the absurdity of expecting, after the re-

suit of the last English elections, a return to the principle
of duties on breadstuffs, the committee reported progress.
The intelligence from Havana extends to the 3d instant,
at which date the yellow fever and cholera were very pre-
valent, Arrests still continued to be made, but no ex-
ecutions had taken place.
