A RE6INENr.-Al letter from st. Peters
burgh. in speaking Of regiment Of Dasch-
kir Tartars, four hundred horses strohg, that
had just arrived there from Moscow, says
that the men we're much lees astonished at
the Moscow railway, By which they were
conveyed. than had been expected. They
affirmed that Il BY no means went 90 fast az
the breeze on the steppes. and that q good
Baschkir horse could keep up with the
train. The locomotive was, however, pro-
aounced to Be sorcery, but the Baschkir
sorcerers could do SOME clever things also.
On their entrance into st. PetersburRh an
empty bsrrack was assigned to them
They begged however to be allowed to take
up their quarters in the open air; ii an
earthquake came the walls VI the building
might fall and crush them. On being re-
CURED to resume their march Ia the morn
ing after bivou.c in the Capital they were
much cas-. down, and eventually refused to
leave, as they had been promised that when
there they should see the EN- peror. On
this circumstance beng made known to the
Emperor, (Alexander) he Immediately rode
down to the place. Their delight at seeing
their Gar knew no bounds; they laughed,
they sobbed, threw themselves on the
ground, they kissed first each other then
the Emperor's boots, and then his horse !;
they crept in and out between the horses
legs, which they embraced from time 70
time, and conducted themselves entirely as
children highly delighted at meeting long
absent parent. After receiving the En-.
perors blessing they marched off.

The PERRY CoRREsPoNDENcE.-We publish
elsewhere part of the correspondence which
passed between Mr.. Perry United States Sec
rotary of Legation to Madrid, Mr.. Marcy and
Senior Pacheco. From this it appears that
the last mentioned gentlemen proposed to
the United Stated Charge d'Afaires the estab-
lishment Of mixed commission to decide on
all claims arising on the govei nmen's OF either
nation; quoting the case Of the commission
lately sitting at London as a precedent. Mr..
Perry appears to have thought well of the
scheme. Mr.. Marcy, on the contrary, was OBJ
viously of opinion that il would amount to
nothing, and that Spain did not even mean to
keep her word in proposingit. To this opinion
of his chiefs, Mr. Perry demurs in language
none the less pointed for being clothed in the
forms OF diplomatic etiquette, and the whole
case is now laid before the Department of
State. We shall see presently what its final
fate will be.

BRAND acting as theatrical critic or penny a.
liner to French journal in this city, and who
astonishes the world occasionally by fresh in.
telligence on the subject Of operatic move
ments. With the most profound sin
certify and the deepest pathos he asks
us what are the terms of the treaty
which has been made between the
allies Of the Irving place Academy OF Music
and the terrible Gear of Nassau street. We
have no objection to give him the desired in
formation, provided he will reciprocate by
giving us certain important intelligence on an
equally deeply interesting subject We desire,
therefore, to inquire most respectfully into the
state Of this critics financial relations with his
tailor or the exact condition Of his blue book
with his worthy washerwoman, including the
balance in dollars and cents No doubt the
public will be bursting with curiosity until
both these important questions shall have been
fully answsred-but they must hold themselves
tight till the information comes in an official

SPANISH INTRIaUEs IN HAYTI.-The advices
from Port an Prince, published in another
column, are Of an important and interesting
character. The arrival and gracious recep-
ton of Spanish consular agent by the Hay
tien government, had given rise to good deal
of speculation, the conduct of Spain towards
the Faustin regime having been hitherto studi-
ous]y unfriendly and discourteous, and there
being no commercial transactions between the
two countries, which required the presence of
such an agent. It was generally believed that
this change Of feeling on the part Of Spain had
been brought about by her desire to secure the
aid of the Hayt Emperor in the defence Of
Cuba, or, failing that, to enable her to carry
out her contemplated alternative of abandon
ing the Island to the blacks, sooner than allow
it to fall into the possession of the Americans
The United States corvette Falmouth had ar
rived at Port al Prince, and from the fact of
her having been three days in the harbor with
out any salute having been fired, some appre-
tensions were entertained that difficulty had
arisen with the government in regard to the
knight affair, the details of which we lately
published.

beauties of the Congressional spoils system of

MORE REF0RM-GAMBLERs ARREsTED.-The
Mayor is thorough going reformer, judging
by his present acts. He presses forward with
undiminished energy in the pursuit of Satan
and all his imps. The last onslaught ha, been the
arrest and handing over to the Grand Jury Of Sc
veral ofthe most fashionable keepers Of gambling
honses in Broadway. Two of the choicest aud
latest canvass back ducks of that class of So
ciety have been brought to the hammer.
In this movement the Mayor has manfully
executed all that pertains to his duty under
the laws and statutes in such case made and
provided. 1t now remains for the Grand Jury
and the criminal courts to proceed in these
matters. But here we have little hope. These
fashionable sporting gentlemen have great
deal of influence in political and social circles,
equally at Tammany Hall and the Fifth
avenue. They may be arrested and give bail,
but we never expect to see them brought to the
bar to pay the penalty OF their misdeeds, and
thus further the work of social reform COM
menced by the Mayor. If 1--WE were sporting
character we would be willing to bet five thou.
sand dollars to five dollars that the announce
ment of the arrests is the last we shall ever
hear Of them. There are forty or fifty splendid
gambling establishments in and about Broad
way. as well as dozens and dozens of smaller
places scattered over the city. These houses
are frequented by the most fashionable men
about town-lawyers, merchants, brokers'
bankers, editors, clerks, actors, strangers, and
Others Thus goes the world.
