Catharine Ill of Russia.

A curious letter from the Empress Catherine
ii of Russia to the Graud Duke has been
published in the transactions of the Ecclesi-
astioal Academy of Kieff" In this letter are
found the following passages:-
have been told by learned nsen that Egypt
at the time of her greatest prosperity excluded
all strangers from her territory, ana thereby
obtained reputation for political wisdom.
Follow this example. Like a good father,
protect your family against everything that
could injure it; see that no book, no newspa-
per, no oaricature is introduced in Russia of
which you do not approve. The people should
have no opinion but that of their sovereign.
You should only allow certain amount of
enlightenment to penetrate among your sub
jects, none that could prove injurious either
to yourself or to them.
II is impossible to govern according to your
own will people that reasons.
~ advise you to establish strict censorship
in every custom house for books coming from
abroad. / could quote books which have done
more harm to sovereigns than battle OF lost
province.
Do not give people too much time for refec-
tion. Nations are not created for this; they
should not be Teasopers. There is nothing
more difficult than to govern people which
wants reason for everything. The business
of the people is to work and be silent.
The pen of an able writer does more harm
to a Government than a war. Send to siberia
every writer who thinks of aspiring to the
dignity of statesman.

While taking this course they do not modify
their opinions and are more than ever con-

in principle, and probably impracicable, aud
one which, even If practicable, would be dsas-

WALL STREET.
ITS Shadows - An Aged eX Clergyman
Charged with Robbery.

The N. Y. Times of yesterday mo ming con-
tanned the fcllowing:-
Luther g. Bingham, who is IS years of age,
and resides at No. 10 Congress street, Brooklyn,
and who for many years was clergyman in
good standing, but has latterly been engaged as
a broker in Wall street, was yesterday arrested
by Detective Reiley, of the Twentieth Precinct,
upon warrant issued at the instance of
Samuel B, Tinsdale, clerk Of Robert Bale, No.
u Wall street.
The complaint states that on the 2sth day of
November Bingham purchased of Bale $4,000
iD gold, giving III payment his check for ST., 800
on the American National Bank. aud his que
bill for SG662, and a check for $1,000 purport-
ing 10 be drawn by Richard CamermaD, on the
Pacific National Bank. These checks having
been received, Brigham took away the gold,
and the checks being afterwards presented at
the banks, payment was refused upon the ground
that the dra had no deposits to meet them.
1t was therefore charged that Bingham had
stolen the $4,000 in gold by "trick and device"
The accused is a man of good appearance and
looking younger than the age he gives by almost
q score of Years, aud when arraigned upon the
charge said that he was innocent of all intended
iiaud in The matter, and that the transaction on
his palt was honest, as he hoped - be able to
prove. Justice LeGwith considered that there
was sufficient in the case 10 Justify further in
quiry and Bingham was accordingly held for an
examination, which was set down Tor 10 o'clock
this morning.

About year ago it was announced that Mr..
David Boyd, Jr., had purchased what was lett

he intended to have toe snip raised. Difficult
as this seemed, when the enormous weight o.

found 10 be uniDjured by the tre. When
all the loose irons had been removed, eighteen
two-inch chains were swung under the hull.
Some OF these were IN thirtytWo feet water near
the stern of the snip. After the chains were
placed and attached to the Dontoons, the latter
were sunk TO the waters edge ut low tide, and
as the tide raised al The next food the enormous
hull of tue Ironsides was slowly lifted from the
mud, where it had lain so long, and once more
floated, supported by the ponJoous. On Tues
day alterl oon of this week the lrOnsl1es and
the pontoous were cot into position 10 be dritted
with the food tide up the river, aud the wlole
mass, guided by steam tags, was carried about
