SCENES All ST. PETERSBURG.
Laty's Impressions OF the City Upon
Her First Visit.

Her First Visit.
An English lady who is now travelling in
Russia sends the Pail MaH Gazette tho follow
ing account of her first impressions of St.
Petersburg: "We have now boon in Russia
two long, delightful weeks, but you must not
expect me to tell you half what we have
seen, or to dsentangle for your benefit the
glorious profusion of churches, pictures,
droskies doneS, and diamonds with which
our minds are stored. Tho first thing
which strikes the traveller ON reaching the
Russian frontier is the astonishing number
of top boots. Such magnificent boots They
have become familiar to us now, and
the awe they originally inspired is grad
ually fading away; but never shall we forget
tho startling effect of that regiment of rail
way porters-all in those glorious boots-who
stood on the platform waiting the arrival of
our train. Now, Mt last, We felt wo were
indeed in the land of tho czars Somewhat
peculiar too, was the rest of their costume
fur cap, neat black waistcoat, scarlet shirt
(tails flying loosely in tho wind, and over all
large white pantry apron. But as We stood
and gazed we were reused by demand for
passports" and followed into hall where
the luggage was about to be examined The
examination was nominal 30 far as wo woro
concerned, though ono unfortunate lady was
made completely TO empty her box. I'm
pressed by tho number OF our trunks they
simply put finger into each and do
manded the sum of six rubles, and bohold /!
the ceremony was over. This was ut
o'clock p. IN. We reached st. Petersburg
without adventure tho following afternoon.
Numbers of hideous crows we noticed by tho
way-piebald. black and drab. These first
appeared in Russia after the famous retreat
from Moscow. The people hate them accord
ingly, and call thom Napoleon's scaveugcrs
Pigeons. however, they regard as sacred birds
(confounding the pigeon with tho dove), and
they are allowed TO multiply in St. Peters
burg to an almost incredible extent. AS we
Afterward drove along the banks of tho Nova
the air was thick with pigeons. They filed
the road they got under the wheels of the
carriage; the roofs of tho great corn ware
houses were entirely hidden by pigeons
From time to time, we We're told, q letter of
complaint appears in tho Russian papers
giving statistics to show the enOrmcIs
amount of grain that is annually consumed
by these birds but nothing is done, and
nobody ventures to interfere. They take
possession of private houses, too. We spont n
day with some English friends whose roof
was infested in this way, and were witness of
family debate as TO whether they might or
might not indulge in u pigeon pio. 1t was
ultimately decided by the husband that moth
ing must be done by themselves. As the
