and peasants, and even with foreigners reSiding
ia Russia, but they may buy IN open iairs,
which are exempted from the general rule OF
restriction. No foreigner can trade with an
other foreigner The object Of these reguia'
| tions is to give the natives u monopoly oi the
home trade, for foreigners engross nearly the
whole of the external trade, with the exception
of that TO Asia. The foreign trade OF 81 Po-
tersburgh is almost entirely in the hands oi
English and German merchants. IL IL stated
by Baron Hanthausen, that daring the reign
Of Catharine III, there were thirty to forty kus-
sian commercial firms at st. Petersburgh; no"
there are only three or four The truth y,
that though the Russians havc great aptitude
in minor traffic, they have no talent for large
transactions or for maritime commerce
The hereditary nobility are not subject to
the law Of Guilds, for on their own lands they
may establish whatever factories they please
and this they do. In this respect they are
widely different from the nobility Of Western
Europe, who have always considered trade de-
grading to their dignity. However on an es-
innate Of 1000 factories in the whole empire,
it il calculated that only 500 belong to the
nobility.
RI i've hundred foreign families are estab-
lished in a Russian town, the municipal conn-
Gil is empowered to admit a certain number OF
them 10 membership, as well rs to take their
seats in the committee Of the trading corpora
ton and in the tribunal Of commerce. The
hnmblest class Of the urban populations arc
entitled to embark in every trade, and sell open
" their own proper produce, but not 40 il the
goods paas through several processes requiring
the labor Of different mechanics and artisans.
These small traders cannot employ more than
four men; two apprentices Of eighteen years
each reckon as orc journeyman. BY paying q
certain tax for license, they are classed among
trading burgesses but even then they must not
keep shops but in addition to the members OF
their own families, this class may employ eight
journeymen in their factories; and, in their
case, two lads of fifteen years each count az
one journeyman. Peasants, and those inhabit-
ants who have not the burgess rights, must in
scribe themselves for the time that their pass
port allows them to reside in town. AS q
general rule, burgesses and merchants cannot
have any fixed habitation in tho country,
but by special authorization this rule may be
relaxed; the peasants may trade as they please
in their own villages. In relation to the pub
lie fairs no town merchants can erect booths
or stalls, either within or beyond the ring or
circuit in which the fair is held but the mo-
chanics Of villages, as shoe-makers, and the
peasants who are porters by trade, enjoy per-
feet freedom. The Russian peasant, says
Storoh, may traverse the whole empire TO sell
his goods or his labor.

preparation for tho construction Of Q custom

wishes to hear from him, could not endure Q

terposition, deprived Mr.. Benton Of tho prisi-
lege Of submitting his remarks

The following letter from Mr.. Sumner was
written in reply to an invitation to be present
ut the municipal celebration of the Fourth Of
July:
SENATE CHAMBER, LIST July, 1854
DEAR SIR: / have been honored by the in
vitation of the municipal authorities of Boston
to unite with them in commemornting the ap-
preaching anniversary OF our National lnde-
pendcnee.
Please tender to them my gratitude, that
they have thus remembered me, an absent cit
izen who tries to servo truth and justice in the
sphere where he has been placed. Pleasure
would take me home, among congenial souls
but duty keeps me here.
The approaching anniversary of Independ-
ence in Boston should be something more
than day Of show and expense. IL ought to
be the occasion Of practical vows to those pri-
NAL principles of freedom which have been as
sailed. Our municipal history should be care
fully read, and, unless we are prepared to dis
own our fathers, the conduct of Boston Mt
memorable times should be set forward anew
as an example, which her children should not
forget | do not rcfer to the violent act by
which her harbor was converted into tea
pot But | would especially dwell on the
peaceful opposition, which, according to her
own records now preserved at the City Hall,
she organized against a tyrannical and uncon-
stitutional act Of Parliament bearing tcs-
timony against outrageous tumulfs and Illegal
procccdingsp but never failing " to take legal
and warrantable measures to prevent that mis-
fortune of all others tho most to be dreaded
the execution Of the Stamp Act" Tho City
Clerk will find these words in his books, under
date OF 27th March 1866, whence have with
my own hand copied them. With this great
precedent OF freedom in my memory, ! ask the
Municipal Authorities--shonld bo remcm-
bered at their hospitablc board--to propose in
my name tho following sentiment:
q The City Of Boston--While still in colonial
dependence, and with no aim at revolution, her
Municipal Fathers steadfastly opposed the ex-
ccution, within her borders, of an unconstitu
tiona and tyrannical act Of Parliament until
without violence OF collision, it was at first
practically annulled, and at last repealed.
Truly honoring their fathers, let Boston not
depart from their example,
remain, dear sir, your faithful servant,
CHARLES SUMNER.

THE RAILROAD DrsAsrER.-Inquests have
boon held in the cases of several of the per-
sons killed by this disaster, and the vcrdicts
are generally Of the following tenor:
After duly considering the evidence in the
late collision case, the jury find-lst. That tho
special orders issued to conductors running
excursion and other trains between Baltimore
and point on the Susquehanna Railroad
known az Riders Switch on the day of the
4th of July last, should have been moro ex-
plicit on the occasion. "a. That William Scott
conductor, was running without due precau-
tion and out Of time therefore, the jury view
the catastrophe as one originating from negli-
gence OF the grossest possible nature, and that
the Susqnehanna Railroad Company is highly
oensurabIe and should bo held amenable 10
the next Grand Jury Of Baltimore county, for
causing the deaths of Michael Mccormick
Henry Clay Jeffries and other persons un-
known to the jury"
The Baltimore american Of today says:
"The case stands open to the observation Of
all, a. one Of gross and objectionable careless
mess. The officials OF the road, 10 whom tho
care OF the thousands had been committed
who on that day sought the usc OF their facili-
ties IN leaving and returning to the city, seem
TO have been alike unified for the duties Of
their post and unable to appreciate it's respon-
s'biiities Common precaution, common sense,
and every other requisite that would have die
tated on such a day an excess Of care werc
wholly abandoned and trains freighted with
men, women, and children, were exposed To
dangers that could scarcely fail to result in
ssmc such catastrophe rs that which did act

We see it stated in our exchanges that a
process has been discovered by which cordage
of superior quality to that made from hemp
may be manufactured from cotton. 1t is said
to be less affected than any other rope by ex.
posure to the weather, suffers less by abrasion,
does more service, is as strong Of the same
size, weighs less, does not readily absorb mois-
ture or water, and, when strongly impregnated
with its natural oil, resists the action of mois-
ture for long time; it stretches no more, if
as much, as other rope, and requires no paint
or tar to protect it from the weather, and,
though mildew may cover its surface and
blacken il, it does not penetrate the body Of
the rope.

A beautiful infant had been taught TO say,
and il could say little else, God will take care
Of baby" 1t was seized with sickness, at a
time when both parents were just recovering
from dangerous illness. Every day Il grew
worse, and at last was given up to die. Almost
agonized, the mother begged to be carried into
the room Of her darling, to give It one more
embrace. Both parents succeeded in reaching
the apartment Just as il was thought the little
baby had breathed its last. The mother wept
aloud. when once more the little creature opened
its eyes, looked lovingly up in her face, smiled,
moved its lips, and, in faint voice, said; 'God
will take care Of baby" Sweet consoling
wordsl they had hardly ceased when the infant
pirit was in heaven.
