The Russian Government.

The Government Of Russia is an nh
solute hereditary monarchy. The whole
Legislative, executive, axd judicial power
is united in the Emperor, whose will
alone is law There are, however, GER
tain rules of government which the
sovereigns Of the house OF Holstein
Gottorp have acknowledged as binding,
The principal of these are the rules
regulating the succession to the throne,
aud ordaining that every sovereign OF
Rus in, with his consort and children,
must be member of the orthodox
Greek Church. The princes and prin-
cesses of the Imperial house, according
to decree OF Alexander l., must obtain
the consent of the Emperor to any mar
riage they may contract otherwise the
issue Of such union cannot inherit the
throne. BY nm ancient law Of Russia,
the heir apparent is held to be of age at
the end OF the sixteenth year, and tn
other members of the reigning family
with the completed eighteenth year.
The administration of the Empire is
intrusted to four great Boards OF Coun-
ellis, possessing separate functions, bnt
centcring in the "Privnte Cabinet Of
the Emperor. The first of these is the
Council of the Empire, consisting of u
President and m unlimited number Of
members appointed by the Emperor,
The Council is divided into five depart
ments. The second is the Directing
Senate, formed OF persons OF high rank
or who filed high stations This body
is the High Court OF Justice for the
Empire, controllingnll inferior tribunals,
and examining into the state OF the
public revenue md expenditure. It has
power to inquire into public abuses, to
appoint to u great variety Of officers, and
to make remOEstrances to the Emperor.
The third college is the Holy Synod, to
which is committed the superintendent
of the religious affairs OF the Empire.
It's composed Of the principal dignita-
ries OF the Church. The fourth board
is the Council of Ministers, is composed
Of the Ministers charged with the several
executive branches Of the Administra-
ton.
The Private Cabinet OF the Emperor,
in which body centers the whole cxccu.
tive authority of the Empire, is divided
into four sections. The local admins.
tration of the Empire differs IN different
provinces government having always
allowed conquered or annexed countries
to preserve their own laws and institu'
tons except in so far as they were hostile
to the general Constitution OF the En-
pire. The Grand Duchy Of Finland has
a special and partially independent form
of Government and the provinces
wrested from Sweden by Peter The
Great, Cortland, and those formerly be
longing to Poland, have peculiar insti
tutions and privileges, which, however
have lOtterly been much modified,

James Brooks in n letter from China, to
see farm life, garden life, rural life, in
general. The agriculture, especially the
ternce agriculture, is not what expect.
ed to see. Farming is not carried to
such perfection as in Japan. Mountain
land is not rescued from its barrennoss
where it might be. But every spot OF
good land is put under cultivation for
millet, or sorghum, or corn, or peas, or
beans, &c. The sorghum runs up 10 70
or 10 feet high, and its stalks and roots
aro used for fuel in winter. There is no
grass land in this part OF China; and
hence, few or no cattle raised hero.
There are no green fields, therefore,
though often green hills, and these, now,
ms green MS in Switzerland, and very
Swiss.like among the mountains, with
the Swiss disease Of the goitre among
women there. And on these hills there
arc sometimes cattle and goats. A
country thus all ploughcd, hnd hoed,
and cultivated, or its plains, now full Of
crops aud teeming with agricultural
wealth, is novelty to an American eye.
I could see nothing but crops for miles,

some few fruits herc-the apple, now
ripening, not bnd-thc peach, not good
nor bad, and the grape, excellent rs n
garden grape. Figs and pomegnnates
are growing in the garden of the Lega-
ton about me, and they are housed in
winter. The winter here, indeed, must
be terrible, judging from the good,
thick ice see on the table, and from
the abundance OF furs and skins of all
sorts in the markets, offered for sale us
clothing. The sun in summer is too
fiery hot, and in midday the safest way
is to keep out Of its rays. But the

A YOUNG GIRL's SrARvArfoN.-Mary
Collins, of North Bergen, N. j., had
been receiving the addresses Of James
Kelly, of Hobokcn, and they were to

CIVILIZED SUNDAY AMUSEMENT The
Gilroy lCal.) TtcG'um thus describes n
recent Sabbath entertainment in San
Juan South The bear was confined
in II large cage, and after considerable
work, the Mcxican5 managed to fasten
one forcpaw and one hind with chains,
and then Bruin was taken out of the
cage md the bull brought into the cor
raj, where the sports were held. The
first round consisted OF the bull mnkin :
a rush Ut The bear aud knocking lin
over bear gets mp and seiZes bull by
the fOrGleg, aud clinws the flesh off it.,
making Taurus howl with pain the
bear WIS pulled of by the Mexicans by
means Of larint. The second and
third rounds were both in favor of the
bear, who took the bull literally by the
horns and endeavored to ent him up,
commencing ut the head. The fourth
and last round, the bear seized the bull
by the tail and pulled him down, bear
under, who tried to complete his victory
by eating from the other end, when they
were again separated. Both the com
batants seemed to have had enough, rs
no amount Of red flannel could aggra-
vato the bull, and poking with sharp
sticks failed TO excite the bear, so the
fight ended, the bull being led out by
the nroua literally streaming with blood.

Kit Carson would never have attempted

young squnw would have had more sense
than that Kit Carson, instead of
throwing away his weapons and strip
ping himself naked, would have quietly
klndled fire in the grass, which would
have made safe track for his advance
to the Brazos over the burnt territory.
