CONSPIRACY IN RUSSIA.

The Hamburg Borssn- Halle has let
ter from St. Petersburg, dated May 81,
which says that on the night Of the 9Th
the sons of the most distinguished fami-
lies were arrested by the police. Above
hundred were seized-some say from
two hundred to three hundred. 1t is af-
firmed that the conspiracy which caused
this measure was Communist and Social
list. Among the young men arrested a
large proportion were officers Of the
Guard and young Noblemen employed
in the department Of the Interior and in
diplomatic affairs. The police discharg-
ed its Office with the greatest brutality.
NJ. Caschkin was dragged from his bed
while dying in the midst of his relatives.
The individuals seized were at first i'm
>prisoned in the fortress of st. Peters
burg, and were subsequently transferred
to the barracks at Cronstadt. The Rus
slams say that their design was to assas-
sinate the Emperor.

po,oerless condition Of Gen. Persyer

Prospects at the Mines, d.,
New ORLEANS, Saturday. June %.
By the arrival Of the Royal mail steam.
ship Clyde at Mobile we have dates from
San Francisco to the 18th Of May: sew
enteen days later than previous accounts.
The advices in the main, with some draw
backs, were considered favorable to the
prospects Of the gold diggefs. Some
among them. were very successful, while
others did not make enough to bear ek-
penses.
Thousands of persons were daily arri.
wing Some were disappointed and
were preparing to return. There was said
tobe much suffering among the miners.
1t was estimated that about 5000 per-
sons were employed in digging for gold.
Letters to the Picoymne and other pa
pers, from San Francisco, dated May
10, state that every thing was in dis
ordered condition; that no law existed
tut the law of the strongest, which had
been proclaimed by the mass. Cover.
nor Persifer F., Smith and the troops
under his command were refugees on
board Of the American ships lying in port
and soldiers were hunted down like
wolves.
Passengers who came by the Clyde.
and who left San Francisco on the 18th,
say not word about the above report.
and the inference doubtless is that the
rumor is unfounded. They had encoun-
tered both whites and Indians at the
Placers.
