RussiansAnnexntians.

The New York Times is not singular in
its suspicion that Russia will take the lion s
share of the Chinese plunder, and it points
out, as of parallel Importance with our pur-
chase of Louisiana from France, the trans
action by which the frontier of China, in
stead of curving some hundreds of miles to
the northward, including the entire course
of the AmoOr, and a larger portion of its
water shed, is now curved as decidedly
southwark, ceding vast regions, embracing
near two thousand miles of the Amoor and
its navigation to the Gar. The transaction
is probably as important as big with in
conceivable consequences, as the purchase of
Louisiana from France has been to the
United States. The Paris IreSse furnishes
some historic notes OF this Territory,
opposite to its transfer. 1t states that when
Siberia was conquered ia 1882 by Jernak
Hetman, of the Don Cossacks, an attempt
was made to embrace the Amoor region in
the new acquisition. The Emperor Alexis,
in 1918, sent first expedition to explore
the river. A long reach from the mouth
was thus opened to traffic, and presently the
Russians were taking every advantage of
the opportunity. The Chinese. Jealous of
their success, interfered, quarrelled with
their commerce away At last, in 1889, the
disputed right was adjusted by a treaty,
in the negotiation Of which the Chinese dis
played their usual ill-faith. The treaty
gave up the whole river to the Tartars, leav-
ing only a meagre right to navigation,
which, althoug6 of itself almost worthless,
has not been without indirect value On the
strength OF this reservation the Russians
have employed the last half century in peo-
pling, developing, and possessing themselves
of the great and fertile valley; have placed
shipping on the river; brought fleets of
traders to its mouth; have built forts aud
cities; and are talking of railroads, tee-
graphs, and machine shops. The treaty of
June lst 1853, converts this tenure, by suf-
ferance, into tenure in fee simple and here
after the map colorist must continue the hue
of the Russian empire very nearly to the
gates of Pekin.
This country can have no objections to
the extension of Russian dominion ever the
coast of China as every foot acquired by her
opens the territory TO our commerce

DICKENS AS A REABER-Dr. McKensie,
of the Philadelphia Press says:
From what we consider good authority,
we hear that Charles Dickens will certainly
revisit this country in the Spring. His
lecturing, or rather reading tour through
the United Kingdom has hitherto been ex-
tremely lucrative, and he calculates on
equal success here. There is no doubt that
he would draw very large audiences in
many populous places, for Dickens, what
ever his faults, is one of the greatest writer's
of his time, and undoubtedly the most genial.
Dickens elocution is almost as exquisite
as his beautiful sentences. If he had no,
been great writer, he would have been an
! eminent actor.

ACQUlTTAL OF Mr.. BowYER-'rhe trial of
Henry w. Bowyer, for shooting james Nc
Dowell, SEN, which has been in progress at
Fincastle, Va, was terminated on Thursday
last, the eighth day Of the examination, by
the acquittal of the prisoner. The provoca-
ton to the shooting, it will be remembered
was the alleged seduction by NJ DoMeH, who
was a maE advanced in years, of Bowyer' S
insane daughter. Both the parties were
wealthy, and prominent men, Mcdowell be-
inc President of the FincaStle Bank, and the
case excited the most intense interest The
proof that Mcdowell had debauched Miss Bow
yer induced her to leave home, furnished
her with money, and directed her to houses
of ill-tame in Richmond and Baltimore, was
of the most positive character, and contra
dicted only by McDowelfs dying assevera-
tions, which were read to the Court on the
closing day of the examination.
When the testimony had been all taken:
Both sides said they had no more testimo-
ny to offer, and the counsel retired to con-
suit After brief absence, they returned,
and Mr.. Niche announced that they had
mutually agreed to submit the question with
out argument.
The magistrates now consulted together,
and the strictest silence prevailed. 1t was
with many a moment of deep suspense
The accused gazed intentiy upon the court
with his handkerchief placed against his
mouth, and his face Slightly flushed Soon
the presiding Justice made the announce
| ment:
"The Court Ac4uits the Prisoner
An outburst of applause followed, which
the officers promptly checked. MIR. Bowyer
was surrounded by his friends, who rendered
him their sincere congratulations, and then
accompanied him forth free man.
| =. Four of the Justices on the bench voted
in favor of an acquittal, and two were for
sending the case on fer trial.
