SUCCESSFUL TRIcKs.--By a clever decep.
tion of the rebels, several of our fastest
steamers are now cruising between here and
Liverpool in search of steamer that never
sailed, and we now have q singular story
from the Norfolk Day Book of Monday, that
a rebel craft, disguised as an English vessel
in distress, went to the feet, and was re-
paired by the commander, and sent on her
supposed voyage to Northern port. All this
was very we'll, but it seems mail was iu-
trusted to her. She eluded the blockade,
slipped into Charleston, and it was found
that in the mail was important information
respecting the designs of the feet, which i'm.
mediate steps were taken to counteract. If
this story be true, it reflects no very high
credit on the officers who were so readily de-
ceived, and who imprudently sent home in
formation by a channel, the loyalty of which
could not be certain. Trickery has been so
far an important element in the Southern
plan of operations, and it is time our men had
their eyes little wider open.

ENsLIsH OPNION.-The London Quarterly
ReView has quite a sensible view, which will
offset the malignant ignorance of BlaekVOOd.
1t says: a1n
Some, indeed many, politicians suppose
that the division of the United States would
be for the general good, and especially for
that of our own empire, by preventing the
growth of dangerous power, and lowering
the overweening bosstfulness and bullying
tone for which Americans have rendered
themselves notorious. Any thing that would
abate these last would be public good, and
to the Americans themselves a marvellous
improvement; but, nevertheless, we always
doubt the wisdom of those politics which de-
sire our neighbours injury for our own good;
and the beneVolence of those who desire 1t
for his good; we have more faith in lhe poll
10y Of wishing people well, without one
reason to show for it but that II is right,
than in that of wishing them i'll, with all the
deep reasons of the deep men Of the world
for II. In fact, our experience teaches US to
attach exceedingly little value to the opinion
of those who calculate how their own good
will come out Of their peighbOr's trouble.

The old passport system of Europe has
nearly passed away. An American, now on
the other side of the water, says that he re.
Gently made journey from Russia, by way
of Sweden, Denmark, England, Belgium,
Norway, Holland, the Free Cities, France,
Prussia and the various minor German States,
and was not asked for passport. This an
noying restriction on personal transit from
country to country is officially abolished in
Holland and Sweden, by royal decree, and it
is reported that even the Grand Lama of
Thibet has issued similar order respecting
his domiDions, in which he has been followed
by the King of Siam. Russia and Austria
have greatly abated the rigor of the passport
system, though they have not yet entirely
suppressed it, while even in Italy one can
travel from Naples to Milan unchallenged,
excepting in the States of the Church. The
cause of this change is said to be the extern
sion ofrailways, and the practical inefhciency
of the system in preventing improper char
acters from passing the lines.

SERFDoM AND EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA -
There are among the Russian nobility some
who possess from 10 900 to upward oflOO, 900
serfs. Count Schermetyeff is considered the
richest nobleman in Russia. He possesses
10000 serfs among whom are several whose
wealth amounts to millions. His annual in
come is estimated at 100000 silver roubles
(f2b0OO0). Every serf pays to his master
from ten to fifteen roubles annually, so that
the annual income of possessor of 100, 900
serfs can not be less than f40 900, independ-
ent of the income he derives from forests,
mills, fabrics, etc. The total number of serfs
now in Russia is upward of 23, ZOO, 900, and
taking the value of each serf at only 300
roubles( (f5O1 the loss sustained by the owners
by the emancipation is certainly not less than
Gl, $50, 0,000 600, or half as much again as the
national debt of this country. Taking the
interest at five per cent, the loss of annual
income TO the nobility can not be less than
EST 900, or more than double the interest
