THE RUSSIAN EXPEDITION TO JApAS-.A
letter from Malta, s.caking Of the report that
the Russians have signed a commercial treaty
with Japan, says:
The Americans, it wo"ld appear, have
not been very honorahly treated by the Rus
sian squadron in those seas who rather clcv-
ely succeeded in getting the treaty which in
al justice, is due to the Americans, and tn s
after obey had Lccn Lent Goals, &C., by the
Americans in China. If it had not been for
this Kindness on The Americans part, it is
doubtful if the Russians could have got so

ExTRAoRDINARY RAcE.-A singular
contest took place recently on the Man
chester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Rail
way. About three or four O'Clock in
the morning, horse came galloping at
a tremendous pace along the line OF
railway in the direction from Kiverton
park toward Sheffield, and decidedly
ahead of an engine and tender which
was travelling the same way. Over
bridges and past gates the chase contin-
ued The signals were up but no heed
was taken of them. Ii was horsefesh
against steam, and the race was run
with vigor and determination, which
threw into the background the tremen-
dous feats of Gilpin of facetious memo
ry Bnt in mid career an unhappy
pause occurred.
The intrepid animal, needless Of OBJ
sstruction, and pressing on to oulstrip
his painting competitor, suddenly missed
his footing and rolled over the embank-
ment. The engine gave an unearthly
sounding shrek, as in triumph at his
unlucky mishap but this only infused
new courage into the veins of the hero
ic animal. Nothing daunted, up he
sprung, and again started on the race.
Again he headed the engine, and again
started on, the race was continued at
the same headlong speed-the horse
leading with evident resolve to win, or
in the language of the melodrama, "per-
ish in the attempt" In this way they
REACHED the Victoria station.--L0rdon

PATERNAL DEsPoTIsM.-The follow
ing is condensed translation Of He
brew letter, dated 30th June, received
by Mr. Morris Kuczguski, of Leeds,
from nephew in London, respecting a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Kuczguski =
Our uncle, Gutman Izbitzki, was sit
ting one evening in his own house, Cat
Izbitz, in Russian Poland reading a
Prussian newspaper to some nine or ten
friends and neighbors. They left him
about nine O'Clock, and he continued to
read to himself until about eleven, when
ne retired to bed. Between twelve and
one, a droshky was heard to stop in the
street, knock was given at the door,
and my uncle's name was called out
He got out of bed, put on his drawers
and dressing gown, and went to the
door, where he was Immediately seized
and carried off. His wife heard the
droshky drive off directly, aud, after
waiting few minutes, thinking that
her husband was talking to some person
at the door, she got up to look for him.
To her surprise, he was gone and she
has never seen him since. She has since
ascerteined, through the police, that he
has been taken into the interior of Rus
sia." Izbitzki, though Pole, seven or
eight years ago became naturalized
Prussian, and was living at Izbitz, with
in the frontiers of Russian Poland, by
virtue of a passport from the Prussian
authorities and therefore was under
the protection OF Prussia.
