Aneodote of Nicholas.

The Boston Transcript records the follow
ing story of the Emperor Nicholas, related
10y gentleman recently from ST. Petersburg:
While the cholera was raging in that city, n
few weeks since, the delusion seized upon
some ofthe lower classes Of the population
that they were poisoned by The bakers. Ac-
tug under this impression, Il mob seized mp
on poor baker and beat him so unmerciiui-
y thrt he died. The Emperor. on hearing
oithe transaction, instituted the most rigor-
ous measures for the apprehension Of the
rngleaders. Six having been arrested, he
fixed day for their public chasrisemcnt with
the terrible knout. in one Of the open places
OF the city. An immense assenbage con-
vcned; and Nicholas himself ungunrded and
in the simple attire Of private citizen, was
present TO see justice done.
After the culprits had been duly punished,
he came aud addressed the people. He eX-
planned to them the cnormity of the offence
of those who had mobbed the poor baker ;
snd that there were duly appointed admins
traitors oi'thc law and the people had always
access to himselfto make known their COM
plants. lie showed the heiuous injustice
which might be done when mobS took the
law Into their hands; and he exposed the alb
SurdIty Of the idea that the prcqaleut cpl
denic was occasioned by poisoned bread
"Rnther it is he exclaimed, "a judgement
OF Heaven against us for our sins. And in
penlIcucc and prayer we should seek relief
my children, rather than in niubhng poor, III
nocCut bakers. Yes the dspcns;lion comes
from God-aud TO God alone must we look
for succor."
with these words uttered with great AMI
m0'I0n and with most expressive gestures.
and an extension ofthe arms, the Emperor
produced such an effect that the whole inn
