only continue to receive accounts of the orgsni-

from 400 to 500 ,jority The Eleventh Ward sup
posed to have given about 700 majority for the Demo

pjshed on the land or ses. The wsr-sll war-is su
opening for the career Of such young game
10 eternity or promst.on-and, accordingly, dur
irs the last winter officers of toe uooccupied
feet and the guards begged as favor to b. cent
to the Crimes, but the Government was obliged
10 refuse the great number OF such de nsud'.
By nature toe nobility are sufficiently oelllgerent
and fully share in the ns,ionsl enthusiasm Stb-
er,te. there are among them but they do not ex-
erci.e a controlling influence. Their order, there
fore. will rea9Iy make sacrifices, though the bur
deps of the contest fsll heavily upon them. Taey
sfic I'd the recruits and their incomes are not
secure on account Of she difficulties thrown IN
the way Of exports. But they do nor pay any
direct taxes, beyond ting ous recruits and max
ing voluntary patriotic offerings. IA to the ek'
por. rrade of Russis on which the incomes OF
the nobility depend, the interruption II suffered
lat year was not great, even according 70 toe
avowsls made In the Eoeli.h Parlisment; and the
pecussry Losses thus fsr suffered BY them are In
considerable So with the Other clasIss, the com
u.rcisl and Industrial the internal Trade likewise
beng neither des.royes DOR considerably injured.
Failures have taken place but no threatening
CON mercial crisis Appreciation of price has
foller principally UPON objects Of lsIury az
wines, tropical products, and the refined ioge-
DuiIes of Western EGrepe. Prvation SO caused
is not deeply felt by the great bulk of the nation
throughout ali cl-.ses, but by few comparatively.
Ali accounts, indeed, froO Rlssis represent the
popular feeling as warm or even fanstcal 10 favor
of the war.
What contributes to this feeling il the self
r.lisnce which Russia bss on her own
manufacturing resources, snd the ability OF
her native skilled workmen, who are now
able to dispense with their Eughsa tutors.
Ia this the Government leads the way
through the numerous colossal establish neots
belonging to it. Thus, since the beginning Of
hostities, and the interruption of che communal
cstions with England, where engines for the
navy were CONTRACTED, Elk screw-gesses have
been finished, in the navy yard of 81. Peters
burg With Russian machinery Other Deficiencies
are supplied in the same way. Until the war;
cosls likewise were imported from England; now
coal. beds have been discovered In the Province
OF Olonetz; and as the level plsRs facilitate the
construction of railroads., coss can easily be
brought to the workshops. When pesce has
been restored, England will find that the strong
footing once held by Der commercially and indus
triay in Russia is lost for ever For the present,
the war ia rapidly developing various resources
of The country; though we must not overlook
homicide, waste and debt a. it's intrinsic qualities.

which had been taken to Free esons' Hsu, and
passed resolutions that il not delivered forthwith
