THE COHFLAGRATIoEs IL RUssIA The
co1hagrations in Russia are spreading from st.
Petersburg to the provinces. At Tifis, on the
18th Of May, ten houses were burnt to the
ground; at Mohiew, on the 9sh Of June. TWEEN
ty houses at Czsrnichow, on the lIth of June,
forty -four houses, one hundred and thirty-thTee
shops and church ConAagrstions have also
taken place at Novgorod and at Constsdt..
Terror prevails at the seat Of government
The force intrusted with the care of the public
safety has been increased. The houses are
closed, and no stranger is admitted. The losses
at Petersburg are estimated at many hundred
millions Of roubles In addition to the numerous
arrests that have been made the sudden disap-
pesraBce Of Col Rostoffsof, aid-de-camp of the
Emperor, has given rise tosmuch comment. He
is accused of being connected with the secret
socisties, and in correspondence with them.
What adds to the excite21ent caused by this az
cdsnt is, that the colonel, now denounced as a
Tev0luGonist, is the son of the general who put 8
stop, by his revelations, to the insuuection OF
1925 and was ever afterwards the devoted,
confidential adviser of Nicholas.

To RICHMOND BY THE JAMES RIyER-The
distance from McClellsn's headquarters to the
rebel capital, by land, is nineteen miles but so
irregular is the course of the James river that 8
boat has to sai&ixty miles to reach tue same des-
tinatiOn. At one point the stream makes such
a sweep to the westward that the course is twsn-
BY miles around in an ascent Of only two miles.
There have been so many statements made
respecting the distance by river from McClel-
JAMS army to r Richmond that we have taken the
trouble to consult the coast survey map, which
is supposed to. be accurate, with the following
result:
F7om Richmond to Turkey bend, 30 miles
from Richmond to City Point, 81 miles do. to

To the south eur forces find cavalry lowering
