NICHOLAS OF RUssIA.--A towering plume

vacant spot stood figure of the grandest beau
ty, expression, dimensions and carriage, uniting
all the majesties and graces Of all the heather
gods--the little god Of love alone, perhaps, ex-
cepted--on its ample and symmetrical proper
tions. Had this nobility of person belonged to
a common Maugik instead of to the Autocrat
of Russia, the admiration could not have been
less. 1t was not the monarch who was so mag.
nificent a man, but the man who was truly i'm
perial. The person Of the Emperor is that of q

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY "a, 1854.

W- From our marine reporter we learn that
there were forty.one vessels besides several
steamers and propelers in port last Saturday,
being greater number than was ever before in
our harbor, on any one day. Adverse winds had
prevented any departures for some time and that
circumstance accounts for the large collection.
The commerce on our waters has met with great
increase this season, and some idea of its pres
ent Importance may be formed from the fact
which we have noted. This increase may be at
tributed mostly to the great impulse which the
lumber trade has lately received, although other
branches of business have contributed, in some
degree to the result

publication of certain opinions attributed to Mr..

threatened to ask for his passports and return to
France if this requisition be not complied with

should be construed in accordance with this gs'@-
purpose.
