AFFAIRS AT ST. PETERSBURG.

The New York Herald publishes an ex-
tract of letter written at St. Petersburg,
May 6, by a well informed gentleman of
high character. He says that the number of
troops in and Immediately around the city
is 10000, about double the usual number
kept there in time of peace. The streets are
full of soldiers and the city is under martial
law. He says that no one can pass the gates
and barriers after 9 o'clock, and in the lower
parts of the town, near the batteries, it is
supposed that the inhabitants will not be
allowed to be out of their houses after that
hour. The writer sympathises with the al
lies mot he says, that he is an enemy to Rus
STA, but because he would regard it as the
greatest misfortune which could happen to
mankind if that despotic government should
be any further extended.

THE EASTERN WAR.

The following is an extract from letter
| from London, published in one of the New
York papers. The author is said 10 be intel
ligent and reliable. His speculations as to
the turn events are likely to take in Eu-
rope, will be found Of interest:
"Ths Government of Great Britain, though reuc-
carrying with the necessary energy long as
the Csay nay be made 10 6e'iere that ne has no daes
to employ ali the element: at its disposition at the
moment when Austria shall have disappointed the
expectations based on her friendly assurances The

Of the allies for such ends although he will not oind
himself to inactivity, should the contingency OF MS
being called upon, not present itself to England
The writer adds, that the Poles are organic
ing themselves not only in Turkey, but also
in Paris and London, and, he observes, 1t is a
telling fact, and one not yet made public
that the subsidies that were paid to them so
late SIS the year 1850, when they were mostly
suppressed by the Napoleonic regime, are
once more renewed, and on more extensive
scale, as military prepayment for services
to be rendered hereafter,-the English Gov
ernment on its side, having become more Ii
beral to accord assistance from funds at the
disposition of the Home Department, when.
ever applied for.
The writer adds, that unless Nicholas is so
courteous as to die for the pleasure of his
dear Aberdeen the last hope of peace will
be overloaded. 1t is believed that if Silis.
tria falls, and the Austrian negotiations fail,
a total change must take place in the British
Cabinet, and the war be prosecuted with a
vigor worthy the strength and resources of
Great Britain. Every thing depends on the
action of the German Powers.

ACcIDENT.-Last Tuesday morning while


Mr.. John A. Johnson, printer, was industriously
engaged at work in his garden, he had the misfor-
tune to insert his hoe into his foot instead of into
the ground, creating considerable cash. and disa-
bling him for the time being. This circumstance
reminds US of an incident we once heard related
of a gentleman from Africa, which we here repeat
"Cutf was at work in field wedding corn, and
being barefooted was constantly on the lookout for
snakes. After working away awhile, probably for.
getting that he was without shoes, he discovered
something which he supposed was a snakes head
at the time and without a moments reflection,
down came the hoe on the dreaded object.
"Sambo, who was at work short distance off,
hearing Cuffs exclanations of delight at having
put an end to the willy serpent, ran up to see the
captive but to his great surprise instead of behol-
ding the head of snake, he expected, there lay
the big toe OF poor Cuff which had proruded itself
above the soft earth, and been chopped off by its
owner for the head of snake"
We don't intend to say that friend Johnson mis-.
took his foot for the frontispiece of serpent and
thereupon wounded it as above mentioned; but
how the deuce he managed to stick the hoe in it,
early in the morning, is something that we cannot
understand.
