English and Rualan ExhilaratiOns.

ecstaciesI The glorious intelligence
was heralded from the psssS. the pull
pit, tho stage, and from every public
asscmblage, and was received by the
people with every conceivable mani
festation ofjoy: The cannonS doomed
in tones Of thunder the bells rang
in merry peals; the heavens were
illuminated by. bon6res; the streets
echoed with the shouts Of multitudes;
ali evideucing that > nation was
giving vent to the ebullitions Of an
ovsr-supply Of happiness. The great
Russian lAutocrat-- -NloHoLAs--who
had cautedthe monarchs of Europe to
trembls on, thoir thrOnes--who was
the terror, the wonder, the envied Of
EnglSad and France.--who was daily
exhibiting the insignihcancies OF
thossgpvSrnnaents and the supremacy
of his smpire--had lett this mundane
sphere sfopthe spiritual one. England
saw ip the event an omination Of good
toherSslf.-of animated hopes OF soon
being privileged to withdraw her
laurelesS army from the field Of con-
test, and freed from the mournful
spectacle Of exhibiting her imbecility.
No wonder England rojoicsd. She
was happy. a.,
Since the dsmise Of Nicholas, we
are not aware that tho death Of any
prominent man has been the occasion
Of rejoicing by any nation, govern
ment or people. Wehave, however,
b ee n "apprissd of circumstance
which recently occurred at the capi-
tai of the empire of Ruffans, that
bears strong resemblance to the Eng
liSh demonstrations of joy at the
news of the Czar's death. 1t differs
only IN one sligM particular; the
English demonstrations were pure,
wholesome, heartfelt, patriotic, ema-
nations from hearts Of unbounded
,gratefulness, founded on news of re-
ality; those Of the subjects of the Ruff
6ana capital were counterfeit, rotten,
inSincere, demonish, belchings and
retchings from atomachs Of men rev.
elliny in demeniacal orgies and ex-
hibitionS Of things dictated by the
clovsnsfooted monarch, and were
founded onnew of'n6 reality. The
English demonstrations were mature;
those Of the Rufiana capital subjects,
premature, Tho English adhered
strictly to the policy Of /" First be
sure you're right, then go ahead )"
the subjects Of the Rufflana capital
were caught in the silly act OF "hal,
looing before out Of the woods"
