Fechter should exclusively enjoy the author's rights. It was ultimatelv ngreed in the interest of Mr. Fechter that the name of Dickens should appear alone, but the latter steadfustly declined to draw anv proíits ftom the performances. Madame echter expresses her gratitude to the memory ef Charles Dickens in the warraest terms: -I wish all your readers to know that his kindness and dolicacy were on a level with his talent and genius; and the memory of this man, of whom England is justly proutl, will live foreverin his country," Intel] gence received here fioui 3t Petersburg states that after the coronation the Czar will exercise a greater personal ïufluence upon State affairs than h i tuerto the eflectofwhich will probably be an' important chance ni the personnel of the Administratie,..

All rumors concerning thegrantingof a constitution in connection with tlie coionation are without foundation, In the iirst place, there is nobody about the Czar who would now nndertake to make siich a proposition, and the repugnance of the National party to any and every restriction of the Czar's power is opposed to it. Finally, the diversity of the races, religión?, and intellectual conditions in Kussia would make it next to impossible to warrant identical liberties to all the iuhabitants of the vast Empire.
