JUL li.tir.D'S LlXTlIti: ON l'.lSMA The extent of the Russian Umpire i:i im mense iMverino; a territory ol :"i.00i,l)ih) sijtiare miles in anil i,(l-J."),l)!);) in Eu rope in all, over 7,0!.)0,l)iK) s u.nv miles. The population of Russia in Umope is 51-,-;"i0!),ili)lj, ami of Asiatic Russia in Siberia I2,00t),)il(), making the entire jiopnlation (i!i,.r)0l),0(JiJ. Russia is the most level cotin- fry in the wwM , us its average level above l me sea is uui o.)u ieei. .pain is ill e inu'li ! est country in Europe, and the a vera ire level of Europe is S.'M feet above the sea. Many things in Russia remind the Ameri can traveller of his own country. The Western part appears newly settled, like our Western States; the middle part of the Empire is well cultivated, and the wooden fences peculiar to Russia, Norway, and Sweden, have quite an American air. The villages, too, are built of wood mostly of round logs and there are some very hand some log cottages. Tin; use of this mate rial in building is the cause of the many destructive fires which are so frequent in Russian villages. The horribly bad roads in Russia also remind the American of the Western settlements, where corduroy roads ace only known, and in the spring and Au tumn they are almost impassable. The winters in Russia, although intensely cold, are not subject to such frequent storms as in other countries. In November and December there is usually a fall of three or lour feet of snow, which remains with out drifting for four or five months. After these months storms are rare, and the win ter remains uniform. Russia is eminently a hospitable country. The noble and rich landed proprietors are very fond of strangers, and nothing can ex ceed their kindly treatment of visiters. Everything throughout Russia is peculiarly Asiatic. The houses are all built in orien- tal sty'e w'f no frontdoor, Yon enter at the side through the enclosure. The roof projects three or fonr feet and the house is surrounded by a porch. The streets are built intolerably wide, throu rh fear of fires. The dress of the Common people is also As;,tic :.. al)1H..irall,.., Tlt 1Iul.i. how. ever, have their French tailors, and dress like gentlemen of France or England. 2 The merchants of the first class, or guild, as it is there termed, aho dress in European style. The merchants of the second or third guilds, the clergy and serfs, are strictly Asiatic in their dress. No men shave their beards, except rich merchants and nobles. Peter the Great was much opposed to beards, and made a law that no one tdiould appear at Court with a beard ; and an old uoble who ventured to trangress the edict, Was unceremoniously seized and slain in the presence of the Emperor. Nine out of ten men in Russia now wear beards. Thu serfs in the country wear overcoats of sheepskins, made with the wool iuside, and the serfs in the cities usually dress in blue turtouts to their heels, and a girdle around their waists. The dress ot the Russian women is also Asiatic. Ronnets are not to much worn as turbans, and the dresses are unusually loose. Modern appliances for altering the female form find little favor in Russia. ' " The religion of the Russian is that of the Greek Church. The" services are almost entirely liturgical, consisting of responses, obeisances, and prostrations. Out ot GO, 000 or 70,000 clergymen, lew preach ser mons. The service on Sunday commences at 12 o'clock, and lasts an hour and a half. Neither musical instruments or stoves are to he found in either Russia, Norway, Swe den, or Denmark. In Russia tho people stand throughout the service, and on the elevation of tho Host they commence bow. ing with great vehemence. A the hair is worn long and flies in all directions during the obeisances, the effect is like tho waving of a small forest. The Russian modo of managing horses is also oriental. Four hones are usually driven abreast, and none but nobles, ambassadors, or members of the royal family, are allowed to drive four hor ses, two abreast, as we do in America. The mail couriers drive with great rapi dity ; and a distance of 1,200 miles is ac complished in five days. In Poland, where the roads are better, the courier will pnllof Ws tiorsti 230 rtiiles in 30 hours. the triVflhT who' rnaT chance to accorri- pany the courier will find this rapid tra velling night and day very fatiguing. The grand secret is, to walk cxmtinually during the changing of the horses which is done every 15 or 120 milts. The manners of the people, particularly of the lower classes, are quite oriental. If you give the servant at your hotel a few cents, he will lake your hand and kiss it, lay his check upon it, and then with his cheek rub your arm for some minutes. The fine rivers in Russia, though frozen up six months in the year, are navigated in the summer with steamboats, which are in creasing every year, and the number now plying timing the summer is immense. heat, buckwheat, rye, barley, and oats ore produced in great abundance; and in the south of Russia, fine apples, peaches, and pears. RticUu heat is extensively used in Odessa. The people boil tt as we do rice, and when so prepared it forms a deli cious dish, alter being hulled and seasoned. The manufacturers of Russia are making trreat progre.-s under the present Emperor, and thor.e of rotton, wool, and iron, are in a very flourishing condition. England lias opposed this policy of the Emperor, and has by bribes endeavored to induce him to relinquish if, but without success, and the Ciovi rnnient now owns larire cotton and iron factories, and seeks in every way to j encourage individual enterprise. ! Iron is very abundant in Russia, and in ' some localities phttina and diamonds are found. (Jold and silver mines are also frt1 quenlly found. The Asiatic, side of the I nil Mountains is another California, and immense quantities of go Id an; found there. The mines are owivvd and worked by the (I'overnmeiit, and lor five years past from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars worth of gold has been gathered. The gold re K'.mMes in appearance that brought from California. It is found in the sand which the rains w as!) down from the I'r.tl Moun tains. Fiheri.i is rich in mines, and platiua is found there in great abundance. The commerce of Russia lias greatly in Urnl ,;, m 'oum,rw ()f creased wit Inn thirty years, refer the any consequence and with but one port, Archangel, w hither the English had sent trading ships during the reign of Elizabeth. Peter soon extended his possessions to the sea, and built St. Petersburg, which he de termined to make a great commercial city. He drew thither the commerce of Archan gel, and Petersburg has since been the chief pirt of tin' R'.isiau Empire. Russia, how- ever, can never become a great commercial nation, tor although she has the Rlack Sea in the south, the Caspian in the southeast, the Gulf of Finland in the northwest, and the Arctic in the north, she is too far from the great oceans, which are the highways of commerce, to permit hc-r to rival those whose position is moie fortunate. About four thousand vessels now annually enter her ports, of w hich six hundred go to Ar- mangei. J lie most valuatite cargoes are those from the United States. The nobility of Russia proper arp about 500,0(10 in number, exclusive ot those, in Poland or Finland. There are a trreat mnnv erroneous (mill ions abroad respecting the statistics cf Rus sia, arising from confounding Russia proper with the whole Russian empire. Ju the whole of Russia there are 800,000 nobles, divided into fifteen orders, such as Princes, J'arons, ic some of them hereditary, and others factitious, They afe addressed as, lour highness, your brightness, or, your excellence, according to their respective ranks, and, like tho old Spanish nobility, are as ioor as they tire proud. Many a scion of nobility receiving but five hundred dollars a year in the army or navy, looks down with scorn upon the rich merchant, worth his hundred thousand. They will accept of civil employment only, und con sider any mercantile business as derogatory to their rank. The Emperor's policy is evidently to multiply the nobles by raising deserving men to that tank, and thereby weaken their influence. The ancient nobility, al though imperious in their manners, are ex tremely well bred. The French language is more spoken among them than even their own language, and many speak French with greater purity than thev can Russian. Next iu rank come the merchants, wh" are divided into three guilds or corpora tions by the Government. lo the first guild belong all those whose property, ac cording to their own statement amount's to $10,000 of our money. These pay a tax based upon the amount of property which is the test of their rank, and are entitled to certain immunities and privileges, such as the privilege of engaging in foreign com merce, of driving in a coach with two hor ses, &.c. To the second belongs whoever is worth upward of one thousand dollars : and to the third all the small trades in different commodities. These, too, have peculiar rights and privileges. Next come the clergy and the Greek Church, a caste embracing about 500,000 men, women and children. Of the officia ting priests ihere are. about 00,000. The higher clergy are unmarried, and are usu ally taken from monasteries; the lower or ders of clergy are obliged to marry, but can do so but once, and then cannot marry a widow. If the wife dies, the priest is obli ged to leave his Vocation, and seek other employment. The strictness with which these rules are enforced, is said to produce an extraordinary effect upon the priests in making them take good care of their wives, These regulations, however, are not so stringent as those in the Armenian Church where a priest must not only have a wife, but also have a child. The priests marry among these of their own caste, and, as a general thing, stand low in reputation and character, being ignorant and intemperate Even the common people, who, when the priest is en cosluma on the Sabbath, would tremble at a look from him, despise him in private. I here is no ' more opprobrious epithet among them than to be called "the son of a priest." The next class is the great body of Serfs, amounting in all to 48,000,000. The Bri tish Encyclopedia states th number to be 36,000,000, but this is erroneous. These serfs are bought and sold with their land, like the trees that grow upon it. They are usually small farmer, who pay the owner of the land in kind. If the pro prietor furnishes the implements of husban" dry, the serf pays one half in kind if not, but one third. Some of the sells are ex cellent mechanics, and sometimes these pay a certain sum per head for each member of a family. Usually about four dollars per annum is paid as a tax upon each person over four years of age. All that the serf earns over this is his own, and many amass considerable wealth. The serfs on the farms live very rudely, in huts about twenty feet square, with a brick stove sis feet long in one coi ner. A'rough bench or inverted trough, which is used as a seat during the day, at night forms a couch, in which the ladies of the establishment retire to rest, while the men betake themselves to the vi cinity of the huge brick stove. The room is kept extremely hot, and is constantly filled with smoke. These limited accom modations are shared with pigs and chick ens id' the farm, and a collection of cows is often kept in the cellar. To one unaccus tomed to these peculiarities, they are some what unpleasant. There are but three or four really good roads in Russia. From St. Petersburg to Moscow, there is a fine macadamized road twenty-five feet wide, with a broad level space on each side ; making the whole about one hundred ami fifty feet in width, 'i'he road is so straight that yon can often see it sl retch out before you twenty or thirty miles. The usual public conveyance is a vehicle similar to the French diligence, hiis-aa is a line country for railroads, ow ing to its level surface. The railroad, from St. Petersburg to Moscow, now bring built under the direction of Major Whistler, for merly, of Massachusetts, will be finished next autumn. About fifty thousand men are now employed upon it. The only rail road in Poland, runs from Warsaw, north, a distance of (illy or sixty miles. The laws of Russia with regard to care less driving are worthy of imitation in our own country. Whoever runs down a per son by rapid driving, forfeits the vehicle and horses. The present Emperor was ri ding in his carriage some time since, when the driver accidentally run over a drunken man in the street. His Majesty immedi ately had the carriage driven to a magis trate's, and gave up the vehicle und horses to be sjld, ami the proceeds applied to some charitable purpose. The ci.y of Moscow, r-'iulcied famous by X.ipiileonV celebrated (..xp. 'iiliun, was built in the twell'lh ceiiiiity, mid now contains finir hundred thousaia! inhabitant It is satiated in a great valley, and thu h'jii.-i's are mostly built (if wo. id, wish roofs of !-lieet iron, la the centre of the city stands thu walled hill uf Kremlin, which is surrounded Ly a brick wall lif'.y feet hinh, and a mile and a half in ciieinnfeieiiee. Within these limils tue seve ral public, buildings. Tins popular opinion that the Kiemlin is a palace is erroneous It is, simply, as its name signifies, a. walled en closure, and was built as a defenco against domestic insurrection. It could no more be blown up by powder than could a great hill. In the church which stands within its limits is a belt weighing one ' hundred and forty thousand pounds, but this is eclipsed by the g-eat bell which stands at the foot of the tim er. This is nineteen feet high, sixty-fire feet in cireumfeience, eighteen inches thick, und weighs four hundred thousand pounds avoirdupois. A largo piece has been broken out of it, and it is sometimes used as a chapel. Around the city stretches a public garden or Boulevard, and outside of this, a wall of turf thirty or forty feet in height. Three hundred churches, each five or six domes, are scattered throughout the city. The domes are pear sloped, und are sur mounted by a spire mid cross, with the des cent benealh it. They are painted sometimes brown, and often a bright blue color, with largo spangle of gold. A there are from fifteen hundred to two thousand domes in the city, the effect, when the sun isshiniug upon them, is extremely brilliant. About nine tenths of tho city way burnt by the Russians, when they vacated it in 1813. It has never been ascertained who gave order to have the city fired. The Governor General of Russia, Rostopchiu, who was charged with having caused thu conflagration, has disclaimed the uet. It is probable, however, that the com mander of the Russian troops which marched from thocity when Napoleon entered it, gave orders to tiro the buildings. Tartar like, they burnt everything as they retreated. Nb poleoti could easily have prevented the catas trophe if he had suspected it, a he oould have stationed soldiers in every house; but he did not aniioipalo such an event. The bily now show no sign of the vust eontiagiUtiou which luts rendered it so famous iu European histury. St. Petersburg is twenty-two miles in cir cuit, and has no fortification except along the Neva. Thi river is . about one-third . of a mile wide, and sodeep as to be navigable for ftrstclass merchant ships. The city abounds with splendid palaees and publio buildings. Here ia the beautiful column erected by the present Emperor to the memory of bisbrothet Alexander. It is a shaft eighty feet high, rising from a base of eighteen feet, and sur mounted by a statute of red granite polished like a mirror The beautiful equestrian Ha- tute of Peter the Great stands in one of the j public squares looking across tho river. ! The peculiar ituutlofi of St. Petersburg, cxpofes it to frerrneiit imrVidationP, being but little elevated above the river. When the heavy gales of wind w hich prevail 'in thu Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea cause the Neva to become swollen, the city is in great dan gcr.

Tho Worcester Spy gives wine account, from an eye-witness, of the Into sinking of land at Vv'estbrook, Maine, which took place between four and five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the 5th insliint. The actual quan tity of land lost is estimated lit forty acres, and a brook has been formed, not so largo but you may jump across it in many places. Tho Spy says : There is missing some twenty acres of woodland, anil about the same quantity of pasture laud. Over this whole extent the natural soil has entirely disappeared, and iu its place is a fimi plastic blue clay. The woodland was covered with a heavy growth of timber, the whole of w hich has sunk be low its original level some thirty feet, leaving perpendicular walls on three sides, und grad ually sloping on the other side. Tho trees on a portion of tho laud have disappeared entirely, and on another portion they are thrown about in great disorder some sunk half ot two-thirds their lenglh in the earth, yet remaining uprisht. some partly tipped over, some prostrate, and others reverncd, the tops being under tho surface, and the roots standing up in lhe air. Cue large, and valuable ehu Iree, which had been sold by contracts for limbnr, has entirely disappeared, not a vestitge of it remaining. The clay is dry and linn on some parts, but in others is so moist that it yields readily to the foot, and a man standing upon it will, by tho weight of his body, gradually sink into it. A ten feet pole has been run down ils whole length into this clay, and it appears to be of tho same consistence the whole depth. When jumped upon, it has a tremulous or shaking motion, as if it rusted on water or a seiui lluiit mass below. The present surface is nearly a level plain. The brook of Stroud water River," befure mentioned, formerly passed over the earth which has thus sunk, but now passes by on tho side which slopes into the cavity. This shows that the bord ers of iho cavity were somewhat elevatod by the sinking of the mass, und thus a new di rection was given to thu stream. IlLXUAUY. Hungary was originally an elective mon aichy, with a diet or legislature chosen by by the nobles. Since Ferdinand, brother of Charles V. waj elected thu sovereign, by a feeling of pride and loyalty, lhe sovereignty has been continued in lhe house ofllapsburgh a house w hich by Various means, but chielly marriage, has gained the sovereignty of Bo hemia, Austria, Lombard)', mid heaven knows how many other kingdoms, but Hungary has never had nny other connection with tho Austrian Empire . diaii owing allegiance to the same sovereign, that sovereign ft al ways sworn to govern according to the laws and constitution of tho kiudom But tho lute emperor of Austria, liking his absolute kingdoms' better than his limited ones, under the wily Mettefuich; set himself to liumblo Hungary and set aside its constitution. He commenced a wnr of stealthy aggression upon its nobles, and '.ho latter ut last found it ne cessary to make common cuuso with thu masses in resistance. Let the contest go as it will, the people are sure to be gainer?, for the nobles have not only consented to shoul der their portion of the public burdens, which they had never before borne, but they have actually granted iu fee simple to tho peusauts the portions of land which they formerly cul tivated as tenant at will. By this giant more than half a million of peasant families are invested with absolute ownership of from thirty to sixty acre each, or more than 20,000,000 acres among them all. All aris tocruliu privileges, lay as well as eoclesiati cal, are abolished, and all citizens are equal beloru the law, and invested with tho right of ufi'rage, whatever muy be their race or Creed.
