A RUSSIAN GRAND DUKE ON BOARD AN AMERICAN
FRIGArE.-A correspondent Of the New York Journal
of Commerce, writing from Genoa, gives the following
account of visit of the Russian Grand Duke Con-
stantne to the frigate Congress:
The Grand Duke Constantine arrived here on the
20th ut two days ago, his way to Nice. He is at
the head of the Russian navy, and fine squadron of
five or six men-of.war. some of them two-deckers,
were lying in the harbor awaiting his arrival A mes
sage sent by him toour Commodore that he would
be pleased to visit the Congress, and grand demon
stration was made in receiving him. All the men-of
war in the harbor, Russian, Sandman and American,
manned yards and poured forth volles of loud well
come as he appeared in sight with his staff He Wis.,
tied several Of the Russian ships and also Of the
Sandman.
The scene in the Congress was quite brilliant. All
the officers were in full dress, the rgate in the most
perfect condition. and the the finest looking
| in the Mediterranean. The Grand Duke was accom-
panied by a staff glittering all with stars and
orders and different plumes, though he was himself
dressed in plain frock coat, set off with blue rib
bon the shoulders, and few orders ON his breast
twthout sword any other appendage, except pair
of darkmounted spectacles, through which his bright
eyes were evidently viewing all that passed around
him. His gentleness, his courtesy, his freedom from
icau ship and his warm cordiaty, won the hearts of
all. He is gentleman, said one, though he is a
Russian and could not but feel, as Hooked upon
him and heard him converse, that such man might
do much to bring Russia up to point OF civilization
and freedom worthy OF the age in which we I've. In
leaving the ship he begged the privilege of having
Yankee DOODLE from our banda delicate compli-
ment to them, as well to country, they had
just then been playing the Russian national air.

LOOK OUT FOR THE CoMET.-Dr. Cummins, the great
Scotch theologan strologer and astronomer, predicts
that comet will destroy the earth on the 18th of June
next. A German and Frenchman, both said to be
men of great learning, have caused much excitement
in Europe by endorsing this prediction, and support
ing it by pretended calculations. On the 22d of Feb
ruary last the erratc messenger of destruction which
is to accomplish this universal smash-up discov-
cred by Professor D'Awest, of Leipsic, and on the
2Gth of March last by Mr.. Van Arsdae, of Newark,
New Jersey. We learn from the Washington Intelli-
gencer that the night of the 9th ut it was seen
from the National Observatory in Washington,
