miscellaneous.

The st. Petersburg journals contain a ukase
prohibiting the export OF silver In bullion, or coin
BY sea, from Russia, the kingdom Of Poland, and
the principalty Of Finland. The import Of gold
and silver remains Free as before. Captains OF
ships and travellers are allowed TO take with them,
in leaving the kingdom, silver in Russian or for
een coin, to the amount Of fifteen roubles, but it
must be declared at the Customs before leaving.
If any more is concealed and detected, it is con-
fscated, and twice the amount levied from the
person, as a fine.
An imperial ukase attempts TO deal with an
evil which has for years been increasing in Rus
sia-the tendency Of the nobility, and indeed Of
ali classes, to contract debts without regard 10
their means of payment, to indulge the national
taste for display and magnifcence. The process
to which their creditors are compelled TO resort
TO obtain payment is tedious and intricate, and
frequently wiliully delayed by the officials to such
degree, that it is nothing rare for the creditors
to waste whole life in endeayoring to recover
their property. The present ukase, addressed to
the Minister of Justice, directs him to expedite
these proceedings, and compel the officials 10 act
against all debtors without distinction Of rank or
class, with the utmost strictness Of the law. In
consequence Of the order, several persons Of dis
tinctOn have been recently arrested.
The following is the list OF the articles Of which,
according to the new Russian and Polish Tariff
the importation of which is totally prohibited:
Refined lump and csndied sugar well in loaves as
mead, and beer; every kind Of and hammered
non purified sapetre feathers, except in beds forming
part OF the luggage OF Travellers al kinds Of chynoa and
ncier matches readymade eothng prints OF the
and other religious SUBJECTS gunpowder."
Cast and hammered iron though prohibited az
above stated by land, may be imported into Rus
STA by sea Other articles can only be introduced
through certain custom house stations: books and
engravings must 60 through the Warsaw Custom
House, bronze, alabaster and marble articles are
received at the stations OF Neszaws, Szczypiorna,
Granica and Zawichost. Glassware and mir.
rors pass through the same stations. The import
OF salt by sea is prohibited. AL cloth fabrics in
GLIDING white Cashmere, are received only at
customs stations of the first class. Austrian and
Hungarian wine must be passed through the sta
tons OF TomsszOW, Krzeszow, Zawichost Iglo-

The trial Of the ringleaders OF the Wurtemburg
Instruction took place January 25th. The con-
course of persons was immense, and body OF SOL
diers was called out TO keep order. The first per-
son put upon trial was Ran Won Garldorf, the
leader and sixteen of his sccomplices, but fifteen
of these having fed, they will be tried par cORtu-
mace. The charge against them is high treason
and insurrection. No less than 235 witnesses will
be called, and il is calculated that, although the
evidence against the defendants is conclusive the
trial will probably last two months. The trails

A curious fact has Just transpired with refer

nameless citizens of Leipsic presented to Man

been originally made for Robert Blum, the Leip-
sic Democrat, whose untimely end at Vienna pre-
vented it from being presented to him. The re-
niniscences which thus attach 70 the article must
be highly gratifying to its present possessor.

Famine In the Cape dc Yerd Islands.
The present condition of some Of the Cape de
Verd Islands, more especially of the Island of st.
Nicolas is such as to excite very serious apprehen.
sions In September last st. Nicolas was nearly
desoated by hurricane, which with unwonted
violence, swept the whole island. This was soon
followed by fever, the ravages Of which have been
truly appalling. In one town alone, Hibiera Bra
va containing about 1000 inhabitants, not less than
700 of the population have fallen victims The
prevalence of the fever at this season put & stop
to ell agricultural as well as other pursuits conse-
quently the crops then nearly ripe were allowed
to perish and the others, for want of hands to till
them, have since been also suffered to decay. Re-
lieved in some degree as the people of San Nico.
las now are from the immediate agency of the
pestilence, they are now threatened with another
visitor one OF its most dismal consequences.
Famine-gaunt famine-like dark cloud, from
which no face there can for an instant be averted,
hangs over the island, and threatens TO accomplish
the terrible work of destruction, by making vic.
TINS of those whom the fever has spared.

The official budget Of the Papal States for 1851

Among the reasons assigned for Lamartine 8
having declined after three interviews with Louis
Napoleon, TO become Minister is, that he has en-
gagged to furnish the booksellers with two volumes
every month of his writings under very heavy
penalties; and that the sum that he has already
received since bis return from the E asst has ena-
bled him to disengage one oil his estates near
Macon from heavy mortgage.
The death Of Louis Perree, the proprietor and
editor of the newspaper called the Stecte has cast

was a very amiable, gentle hearted person lie
was followed to bis grave by the largest concourse
of persons that ever attended the funeral OF prl
yate person in Paris. The printers OF every news
paper, with one accord, assembled. Lamartine
pronounced an eulogium upon him; and collec'
tion for the poor, who sustained loss in him as a
benefactor was made among the crowd.

George Croly, d. D., author of the romance oil
"Salathiel" and a well known poet w hat makes
the triumph of the Catholics more latterlng 70
them is, that the reverend doctor has been among
the most determined opposers Of the Papal Ag
