Felix Met inn, Eei , one of our oldest and most ro Fpected citizens, died on Monday morning, the 17'h ins ant, nt tils residence, ou Summer street, lielow fceveiiteenth. Mr. Merino was born at Msdtid, iu Sfain, and graduating with distinc tion at tin early age in the University of Alcala, came to the United States in 1812. For many jeats he was Piotessor of Spanish at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and represented the Mexican Government as Us Vice Cousul m Philadelphia from 1M3 until his resignation in ISCj, a period of twenty-two years. Possessed ol superior literary attainaients, well versed in civil and tecloitthtical law, and maintaining a Fpo'less reputation, Mr. Mciino performed the 1'Ublic and professional duties assigned bim wich lidcltty and ability, and leaves to the world a bright example, well worthy of imitation. For iitT.rly two years Mr. Merino's heulih has been declining, and Ins demise, though suddi'n, was not unexpected, lie died at the advance! age otfcl years. Pakino Thu:p.

An English review has the following, in the course ot a long article on the "Modem Rus sian Drama:" Very few of the travellers who every year flit through. St. Petersburg and Moscow take the trouble to visit the theatres devoted in those cities to the national drama. And those whom curiobity does lead there seldom stay long; a few minutes are suilioient to give them a general idea of the actors and the audienoe, and they are soon glad to get away. Nor is it to be wondered at that the Russian stage ex cites in them so little interest, for it is diilicult even for the roost sympathetic spectator to enjoy a play written in a language of which he does not understand a siogld word, and there is something excessively annoying to a Etranger in the midst of an audienoe melted to tears by sorrows which he cannot compre hend, or convulsed with laughter at jokes whioh for him have tot the slightest mean ing. Consequently, we know very little in England about ihe merits of the Russian dramatists, and indeed, most Englishmen are unaware that the Russians can boast of any thing like a national drama. Yet that is the case, and the plays which are produend at Mos cow, for the benefit of an exclusively Russian audience, would well repay a stranger who understands the language in whioh they are written, for the time and trouble it cost him to become familiar with them. They are, for the most part, thoroughly national, founded upon the actual experiences of their writers, and devoted to the illustration of that kind of life which is led at home by the ma jority of those who come to see them. Much, therefore, is to be learnt from them with re spect not only to the habits and customs of the Russians of the present day, but also to their thoughts and feelings. And it is only by means of writings of this or of a kindred elass, that a foreigner who does not reside in the country has a chance of forming a correct idea of what the great bulk of the people are like. Representatives of the upper classes in Russia are to be found at every European capital or watering-place, and it ia not diflioult to form at least an approximate idea of their characters. But middle-class Russians, with few exceptions, can only be seen at home; and as thev. for the most part, speak no language but their own, it is almost impossible for a foreigner who does not live among them to form any idea oi ine views mey tana oi me, or of the trains of thought which pass through their minds. With one class only the dramatist is for bidden to meddle. He may laugh ai muoh as he nleafes at the army or at the civil service, at courtiers, lawyers, or merchants, lint he mnat be careful about alluding to the Church; none of its ministers may re represented on the stage. It would be considered a saorilege to admit an imitation of any of its saored vest ments into the wardrobe of a theatre, men i in a hibtoiical drama it is not allowable to in troduce a clergyman of any description; a rule Which involves the patriotio dramatist in con siderable difficulties, the Church having played eo important a part n mauy of those troublous times which he would naturally be most de sirous to illustrate. On this point the censor ship is inexorable; but upon most others, even where to our eyes the writer seems to be verg ing upon forbidden grounds, it allows au amount of latitude which may well astonish those who entertain the oommon notious about Russian restraints upon liberty of thought and The'chief merit of the Russian drama is not to be found in the ingenuity of their plots. They are, in fact, entirely devoid of original contrivances or startling situations. Thh story generally unfolds itself as the piece goes on, tin. . Kimnlicitv whioh is characteristic of a very tender age in art, somewhat resembling u, h marks the dramatio productions of i..A'm r China. There is very little composi tion in the pictures the artist exhibits, whioh fniir.w each other something after the fashion of r anoramio illustrations. Hut as represen .! :. i vim family life, they are not a-i.i of interest. There is certainly at present no reciprocity iu literature between Russian and Western Europe, which is sufficiently aocounted for by the re mote and exceptional character of the Russian language, and by the peculia hablta of the people. Yet the writings of our owu authors are received in Russia with the hearti est recognition. Every book of note that creates a sensation here is at once reproduced there, and our leading novelists would be sur prised if they knew how. anxiously the for tunes of their heroes and heroines are followed by thousands of Russian readers, not only in the two great capitals of the empire, but in every town into which the chief magazines make their way, from the borders of Germany to the Chinese frontier, and from the wastes of the Arctlo Circle to the shores of the Caspian and the Mountains of the Caucasus. We hope the time will come when Russia will pay back her debt, and make ub ashamed of our igno rance, for she is certainly not destitute of a national literature. 0 BITUAR Y. Michael Naoum, the Impressarlo. One of the surviving attaches of Lady Hester Stanhope ha died at Constantinople, M. Michael Naoum, proprietor and imprcs-sario of the Italian theatre of the same name in Peru. The Loudon Allirnaum suys: "Naoum was of Alcppino descent, and the son of a tobacco dealer. When a boy of fourteen or filtecu ho attracted the notice of Lndy Hester, and was by her taken to Syria. Ho remained with her lor some years, being at length dis missed for too great assiduity in feathering his nebt. Of late years he claimed to rauk as dTRgoninii to Lady Hester, but according to his statement to the writer of this bis duties were miscellaneous. He had shaved Lady Hester's head more -than once. On one occasion my Lady took It into her head Bhe would have sieves niaiic in the Encliih style for stable me, and Naoum and his colleagues were ordered to pet up sieves on paiu ot dismissal. Every day alter dinner did he set to work with his bundle of split reeds, but they were too brittle. At last, one day he found by accident that, on being wetted, the weaving could be effected, and he accomplished his task, receiving the lauda tion ot his mistress. He maintained his faith in her to the last day of his lite. Her passport, he attested, was acknowledged by the Greek ptt vateers during the troubled times ot the war of independence, and he having been sent down to Itbodrs in a coastiug vessel io cash a draft, was, on his return, captured; but on the production oi my ladj's passport the money was returned, and he was dismissed in Kalety. On his return to Constantinople Naoum engaged in various speculations, and was employed under the patroiisue ot the Sultan Malunoud in the fez miinuiactory. His contact with the greatSultnn in the olden time was never ellaeed from his memory. He never appeared in the presence of a I'udi-uab even iu these days ol reform without a ooubt us to the sa'eiy of his head, or without the alicuiative hope of a largess of a huudred pieces of gold. in 1831 Naoum's fine mansion in Pera was burnt in the general conilaeration of that suburb: and while awaiting its reconstruction he let the ground to a troupe of Italian mounte banks. Ihey got on so well that they turned their attention Io farce and music, tor which they 6tt up a small thealre. This answered, and Naoum determined to go into the matter on his own account Mr. Smith, of the Woods and Forests, was then there rebuilding the palace of the Euirlish Embassy, nod he ensaged with Naoum in his design, furnishing the plauof. and superintending the construction of the theatre. From the time of the Crimean war tlie .success of the opera increased, and Naoum bad some ?ood years, and occasionally respectable prime donne. "On the occasion of the state visit of the pre sent Sultan, Naoum was sent lor iuto the re tiring room. 'As 1 k isoct tlie hem or the Sul- tais garment,' said Naoum, 'I took cara that my kis.sws bliouid be loud and lounding, that my sovereign should know my loyalty.' 'Thou hast done well,' said the Sultan; 'I am content with thee.' As I stood there, said Najum. I began to assume a melancholy aspect, so that i lie Sultac asked me what ailed me. 'I am ill, sire, in promoting the amusement ot my sove reign, and wish to ask a ftivor.' 'What is it, Naoum?' 'It is permission to co to Malta to reotore my health, so that I may be the better able to devote myself to the service of my sove reign.' M'.c it so, Naoum; it is accorded to thee.' 'Now,' said Naoum, 'if the present Sul tan had been like his late brother, he would have said, Naoum is ill; he is a poor man; give him lour mind red pieces ot gold tor the ex penses ot his voyage, uut, sorrowfully la- uieutca JNaoum, the Kuitau uoes not eo spend his money now.' " Kail roa (Is iu Virginia. Frrm the Richmond Whig, We would restrain any attempt of Virginia lines to cheat the State of Virginia or the cities of Virginia out of the trade that pro perly belongs to them by forming unnatural alliances with external companies. And we would require all our lines that can be made to do so to point toward our own seaboard, so as to create direct trade and build up a great Virginia port. But in doing this, we would not be unjust. We would not deny any locality to whith we could not offer an advan tageous market acoess to a market outside of our state lines, we wouia nave a Virginia policy. That policy should be designed to commence or extend all our lines so as to con nect with Southern and Western avenues of trade and travel, and to point them all to our eeabcard. We would then extend consolida tion in order to get rid of those jealousies that spring from rival managements, ana to carry out the system efficiently and cheaply. TLe policy is now out In its infanoy. We hone to live to see it in its maturity. The consolidation of the Norfolk and Petersburg, South Side and Virginia, and Tennessee Roads constitutes the hrst step in this great progress Under its operation we already see a great leak partUUy stopped at Lynohburg by whioh much valuable trade escaped from Virginia. It Las been intercepted there, and is now turned toward our seaboard, and benefits all the cities traversed by the consolidated lines or connecting with them by other lines. When this system shall be perfected, as we Lope it will before many years Lave Dassed by. Virginia trade and much of tlie trade of the Western and Southern States will be attracted to our sea board. As much of it as can be accommo dated will stop at intermediate Virginia towns; and be attracted to our city of Richmond. The same lines thai snail connect, iorioiK wuu the WeBtern and Southern avenaes will trans port to this city the grain from a hundred new lields. and enable our flouring mills to greatly increase their business.
