English interests would be affected
If action extended so far. They
were mentioned in Mr.. Cross
speech in Parliament, and are the
Suez Canal and Egypt, Constanti-
nople, the Dardanelles and Persian
Gulf. The Princes letter success
sively takes up these points and
explains that Russia does not mean
to interfere with any one Of them.
Prince Gortschakoff acknowledges
the great international and COM
mercial importance of the Suez
Canal, and gives most positive as
surance that Russia does not intend
in any way to touch it. Russia,
indeed, thinks herself entitled as q
matter of right to carry the war to
Egypt, but explains that any action
i'm that direction has never been
even taken into consideration.
This is even more the case as re-
CARDS the Persian Gulf. Russia
thinks, so important a maritime
passage as Dardanelles must al
ways be regulated by international
agreement, and not b one power
alone. She disclaims any intention
of acquiring Constantinople though
at the same time she could not
consent to its possession by any
other Christian power. The COM
mnnicaiion is silent as regards any
temporary occupation of Constan'
tinople, which may become neces'
sary aud ensue in the course o
Russian military achievements
The letter goes on to say thai
Russia has remained true to hel
programme in aiming solely a

only be done by coercing the Porte

Regiment Of Don Cossacks and a
regiment of Terek Cossacks, each
Of the first two regiments consisting
of elk, the last Of four sotnias. All
the regiments, with the exception
of the Don Cossacks, wear the
black Tcherkess uniform being
distinguished from one another by
the color of their accontrements,
shoulder straps, &c. In the kou-
ban regiment, for instance, all the
accessories are red, in the Terek
Cossack regiment blue, in the
irregular regiment white; while
all the horse furniture and arms
are richly ornamented with silver
and gold. The composition OF the
squadron or sotnia in the Irregular
regiment is peculiar, comprising,
besides the commandant OF the
sotnia and the officers, 12O horse
men, two junkers, four non-com-
missioned officers, and trumpeter.
Each sotnia has its own especial
standard, which serves as rallying
point for horsemen or parties re-
turning from scouting expeditions
The irregular regiment consists
entirely of volunteers, each man
providing his own horse and equip
ment. When they presented them
selves for enrolment the men were
mostly armed with flint muskets
but these have since been replaced
by Berdan rifles, which are, it is
reported, highly valued. While
embodied the men are, of course
maintained by the State, receiving
each ten roubles a month and ra
tons and forage in kind. On hrs
joining they were completely ig
norant of even the elements o
cavalry drill, but they are reported
to have applied themselves will
such zeal TO acquiring a knowledge
of their duties that they are nov
able to maneuvre as well as thu

Regular army surgeons are at

The following from the ne"
York Sun will give our readers a
slight idea about the way some
things are done in Russia:
.sThree millions of dissenting
sect known as United Greeks,
were ordered by an imperial ukase
of Emperor Nicholas to enroll them
selves as members OF the national
church. They refused, and then
commenced series Of prosecutions
throwing the Bulgarian atrocities
far into the shade. Scores OF thou
sands were logged to DEATH or
persisted though maltreatment ana
privation, or died on their way 10
Siberia: those who reached their
place of exile speedily terminating
their miserable eXistance In the
mines. An entire community OF
nuns of one Roman Catholic convent
were either scourged to death or
died under infection of ingenious
tortures, such rs dragging them
through and half drowning them in
horse ponds, and subjecting them
70 other uncomfortable horrors.
or these only two, the abbess aud
one nun, escaped to France. Inc
prosecutions of the Jews, which
are still practised, and which force
them constantly to take refuge In
Turkey. we have repeatedly al
luded to in our columns. The
treatment to which the Tchouvasse
and Tcheremisse Mohammedans oil
European Russia are exposed has
constantly been made the subject
Of representation to the Porte
which is powerless to protect them
The wholesale expulsion OF the
Circassians from their mountains
Is a matter of history, and these
wretched exiles were at one time
the objects of sympathy of many Of
those who are now calling down
the Divine vengeance on their
heads. A proclamation by the
Polish committee at Constantinople,
which we publish elsewhere, de-
scribes the outrages to which they
have been subjected, the persecu-
ton taking chiefly that ecclesiasti-
cal form which seems so palatable
TO Plymouth Church, and which has
resulted 10 the imprisonment and
exile of priests for no other crime
than that of refusing to compromise
with their consciences in matters
OF faith.

Last season a large number OF
shipments of cedar posts were made
to this port from various points on
the upper shores. The beginning
Of the season several cargoes oil
cedar we're also discharged here ;
but now, owing to the low price
paid here for cedar as compared
with the price paid at Chicago, the
traffic which this port has enjoyed
in this article seems to be nearing
an end. The owners Of the cedar
which the schooner Antelope loaded
Friday at Port Elgin finding that
they could obtain but $500 pei
cord at this place have ordered her
to sail for Chicago, where they are
offered $3.50 per cord for all they
will deliver. Other shippers have
discovered the same state of affairs
and as a consequence a large
amount of the cedar shipped this
season will go to Chicago and other
ports, instead Of Detroit.-Fre'

A recent discovery will probably
have a damaging effect on the sale
Of hair-restoratives. The English
ship Straithmore was wrecked upon
the Crozet Island, and passengers
and crew were forced to subsist
on Penguin's eggs. In a short
time their hair became beautiful
blonde hue, and grew in great
profusion. Although several bald
headed persons landed on the
island, all had a plentiful capillary
supply when taken off by another
ship. The market price OF pen
gums eggsis not quoted.
