LoNDor, May 4.-The accounts which have
been permitted to be transmitted by telegraph
from Russia give no adequate idea of the fear
full condition of affairs which exist throughout
the empire. Private letters received by bank
ers and others in London having correspond
ents in various parts of Russia, furnish ac-
counts which would be Incredible were not the
accuracy of the letters beyond question. The
terror which exists is extreme and cannot be
exaggerated. Indiscriminate arrests of mem
bers of secret associations are made. These So
cieties, so far as be ascertalned have no
control over the general head, but exist indie
pendently of each other. Each distrusts the
other, and many of them have proved traitors.
In all these cases, however, treachery has been
followed by punishment of death. One of the
letters states that several members of the asso-
citation who have also been giving information
to the police have been secretly sent for safety
to London in the hope that the vengeance of
their comrades will not fall on them there.

HANLAN's ODDS INCREASING.
New CASTLE ON TYNE, May 4.-Hanlan and
Howdon are in excellent condition. Both were
out in their boats to-day and rowed in excellent
style. The Newmarket Chronicle s final opinion
is that Howdon will make the pace pretty hot
| at the commencement, as he has quite habit
of dashing off at 40 to AZ strokes per minute.
He will unquestionably work for the entire dis
| lance, but it is feared that Hanlans long
| sweeping stroke will finally wear Howdon down
though the struggle will be severe. The bet.
ting resorts were crowded to-day. Although
| Hewdon's performance created favorable i'm.
| preston, he receded in the betting. Seven tt
four on Hanlan were pretty freely accepted IN
the evening, but later five to twenty-five wal
freely laid.
