When PETER the Great undertook the co]os
sal task Of Transforming Russia from a1
oriental into an occidental nation, the Empir
occupied about the same position In the c7es o
Europe which Persia or Kashgar does at tb,
! present time. 1t was a semEbarbarous State
still possessing undisturbed its natural atflnf.
ties with Asia, from which its people had dc
rived their origin, their forms OF government
| and their social customs. The INHABITANTS wcrf
divided into two distinct classes the aristocrac1
aud the peasantry. In the first division wprc
included the nobility aud landed proprfctors
and the clergy, aud, in the second, those who
pursued the trades and the handicrafte. md the
tAlers of the soil.
In studying the civilization of Western
Europe, PETER discovered the existence Of m
influential middle class. to whose industry and
energy great share Of the prosperity OF the
various commonwealths WAS indebted. Asst was
his aim to build up civil and social orean,z,-
tion In his own dominious similar in nil
Its features to those existing in the most en-
nghtened countries Of the Continent, he devoted
part OF bis time to the foundation of a ti-r.-
etdt. The Gar could not transmit his rcnfns tn
his SUCCESSORS in the Imperial power but he wns
able to impress them with SO great reverence
Tor the wisdom OF bis policy that many of tts
fundamental principles have been Sustained tn
the present day.
Ills attempt to create middle class has been
1ostered by the different autocrats OF Rusafo
who have dccrced the establishment of torrns
made despotic provisions for their growth ani;

aoo lnaintasnetl the cxietencc of guilds, vet at

the constitution Of the upper classes: Init hn

1t Is asserted that there are no castes IN R,.
sin, and 1t is true that there are no irnnossoh,a
barriers Intervening between the lowest and tho !
highest social grndes. The peasant nnv hc- !

The Memorial DipzomaaQue learns from
St. Petersburg that the Russian Government
Is taking measures to meet any turn affairs
may take in consequence Of the hostile cur
rent Of opinion in England The celebrated
surprises are not forgotten that the English
navy effected in their own ports with the
fleets of Spain and Denmark, and these e1-
p1oits may serve as a kind of example to be
followed by Russia. This reference by the
correspondent of the Memorial to the occa-
sion when the English feet, although En-
gland was ut peace with Denmark, fell upon
,the Danish feetin Copenhagen and destroyed
il, because the English Government heard
Denmark was about to assist NAPOLEON, will
be fully understood at London and Liver
pool, where it is known that formidable
Russian feet is kept on the American coast
in constant telegraphic communication with
St Petersburg, and within ten days sail Of
the coast Of Great Britain. Among other
measures taken by the Russian Government
has been the placing Of the first corps of the
army On war footing by calling out the re-
serves. These troops will be lodged, in part, at
Peterhof and Oranienbaum, md the inhabit-
ants Of these two villages have been H.
formed that the largest pnrt Of their houses

BRITISH N0N-INTERVENTI0N SENTIMENT
IF there is one feature of the foreign com
plications which have grown out Of tho Rms
so-Turkish war moro clearly defined than al
others, it is tho fact that the sentiment o1
the British nation is all but unanimously
averse to any course which may drag Great
Britain into the war. All trustworthy reports
agree upon this. The sentiment of the En-.
glish people is SO pronounced that it is dis.
tinctly stated that nothing short of coup
detat on the part Of Earls BEAcoksr1E1D and
DERBY can commit the Government to d por-
tcipation in the war, and it is almost as dis
tlnctly stated that such action would be fol-
lowed by revolution against the Government
at home. Mr. G. ". SMA11EY is an Amer.
con who has resided in london for yeara,
and is possessed of peculiar advantages for
gathering official information and public
sentiment. In letter to the New York
Tribune, written only two weeks ago, he
gave clear idea Of tho popular antaeonism
to wnrlike intorvention- With all the dis
cussion Of the topic-and it is uppormost in
the minds Of the people-there has not been
single meeting to express sympathy for
Turkey, or hostility to Russia, or confidence
in the Intentions or policy of tho Govern
ment. On the other hand, here was the r.
suit OF tho introduction Of the GLADSTONE
resolutions, as described by MIR. SmA11EY:
never saw or heard OF IN outburst OF populnr
fecftng that seemed more genuine. It Is confined
10 no section OF the country. It reaches from
Aberdeen TO Portsmouth, from Greenwich to Dris.
1o 1t springs from great commercial cc1tres 1tk-
Newcastle aud Liverpool, and from great u,anufac-
turing centres like Manchester, Sheffield, Belfast

On q Naughty Little BOY Sleeping

On Naughty Little Roy Sleeping.
Just now missed from hall and stair
A joyful treble that had grown
AS dear to me as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps Oh the floor
Were stayed. | laid aside nv pen,
Forgot my theme, ADD listened-then
Stole soft TO the library door.
No sight DO sound la moments freak
Offaucy thrilled my pulses through
'.If-no" and yet, that fancy drew
A fathers blood from heart and cheek.
And then--I found him !! There he lay,
Surprised by sleep. caught 10 the act,
The rosy Eandal who had sacked
His little town, and thought it play:
The shattered vase; the broken jar;
A match still smoullering on the floor;
The inksand's purple pool OF gore;
The chessmen scattered near and lar.
Strewn leaves of Albums lightly pressed
This wicked BABY Of the Woods
10 fact. OF half the HOUSEHOLD goods
This son and heir was sZed-possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that straytd;
Aud fallen in that ambuscade
The victor was himself Ger wrought.
What though torn leaves and tattercd book
Still testified bis deep disgracc
| stopped aud kissed the inky face,
With its demurc and calm outlook.
Then back stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, in trust that when my sleep
Should come, there might be One who d
keep
An equal mercy for bis child.
