lowing
Gas an instance Of The Emperor's per
sonal character, q late occurrence at
Kiow is worth noticing. A Polish gen.
tleman, a Nj. Jereszynski was travelling
with his sister, Il Madame Drzewiccka,
when they were suddenly arrested by
th3 governor of The town as being be- IF
ers Of letters and pamphlets. They were
stopped aad searched and the letters
found on them. The governor Conse.
quentIy simply put them under arrest for
50 triflIng an ofence. But unfortunate.
Iy the Emperor arrived at Kiow on his
way 10 meet'Lord Durham, and the case
was reported TO him. Instead Of extend
ing his mercy to these unfortunate per.
sons, he instantly ordered thelgentlemau
to be put into prison; and afterwards 10

EXTRAORDINARY FACT.

One Of the most extraordinary Instan-

individual who lived inthe neighbo hood
ofthe works at SlourbridIe, by the name

not seen again for three or four years
He had mentallyresolved to ascerlainby
what means the process ot,spIiting bar
ofiron was accomplished; and without
communicating his latention to single
human being, he proceeded TO Hull, land
thence, without funds, worked his pas
sage to the Swedish iron port. Arrived
'in Sweden, he took upNhe occupation OF
afddler, and after q time, he became a
