The LONDON TIMES GEAR.
The Emperor of Russia is dead How he died, in what
agony OF body or of SOUL shall know. In that
dark despotsm scarcely ruler has yet resigned the rod
of power without giving tale of
ro The character OF the succession agrees but well
with the confessed conspiracy against the liberties
Had Emperor after Emperor rises by we know what

WHEN bis course be rum and the failure of
movement demands rest and opportunity for another But
IRON whomsoever Nicholas received his fearful task he has
done IT with no negligent hand and stand
even IN RUSSIAN annals the conqueror oppressor and
dtnrbe OF nations As such it impossible not TO re-
ceve the tidings of his deathwe will not saw with yu-
gar and thoughtess congratulations but with sense of
momentary RELIEF, and dawn of hope. Never indeed
SINCE The beginning of this century, the aspect of E-
rope more gloomy, disheartening, than Yesterday
morning Never were the hopes of mankind more flung
back on the deep of righteous cause and Of
least we know that stubborn will is broken and one
mental world of evil Vaccinations gone from our frma-
eht Inc daring schemes of Peter the Great and the
pous Visions OF Catharine may still plague the earth the
u'tu'lohs OF conquest may still be cherished and the
promises or superstition he believed by willing votaries
