sLinkensale," writing from Des Moines
to the Hasekete says
A bill was passed, providing that Mr.. Oar
win should incorporate into his revision of
the laws heretofore passed, the general laws
of this session. He is also to index and su-
perntend the printing of the work, receiving
therefor 81 900. Another act providing that
the Census Board and Mr.. Darwin shall at
tend to the contracting of the publication of
the new Code that the same shall contain,
under each chapter, synopsis of oil prior
laws on the same subject, together with the
syllabi Of cases decided by our own and 9th
er superior courts on the subject. The value
of this part of the new code, as illustrative
of it's principles and practice, cannot be too
highly estimated, il the work be we'll per-
formed, Of which Mr.. Darwin's we'll earned
reputation will be q sufficient guarantee
Mr.. D. ought to get "big pile" for bis la
bers on the revision of the laws, the code,
and the matters connected herewith But
it would hardly be possible to pay him more
than be will we'll deserve. His lab0rs have
been immense, and his we'll known energy
will make it sure that it will not now be re-
Taxed. The bills were passed without any
opposition-a compliment to Darwin, which,
under the CIRCUMSTANCES, was of no small value.

The Causerie Russo contains some inter-
essing details of the betrayal OF Miss Tara
kanoff by Gregory Orloff, one Of the favor
ties of CatharineII. This lady, who claimed
to be the natural daughter OF the Empress
Elizabeth and Count RaEoumofFski, and to
be entitled to the throne of Russia by virtue
of will of Elizabeth, which, she said Cath
crime had destroyed, travelled through Tur-
key, Greece, Germany and Italy in search OF
government which would espouse her canse.
Catherine, whose persistent efforts to entrap
her give probability to her story, failing 10
all other means, at last sent her favorite,
Orlof, in pursuit Of her, snjoining him to
bring her back to Russia, dead or alive
Orlof, pretending that he had fallen into
disgrace, put himself into relations with Miss
Tarakanoff in Naples, conspired with her
against Catherine, and, more perfectly 20 de-
ceive her, asked her hand in marriage. He
persuaded her to 60 on board Russian yes
sci for the performance Of the ceremony !;
thcrc the Russian Rear Admiral arrested her.
He took her to Cronstant, and that is the last
that was ever heard of her. During the
year past terrible rumor has arisen that it
was her skeleton which was found walled up
in closet in the palace OF Zarskoe Zels,
while fitting the apartment Of the hereditary
grand Duke.
