Althouc'ii this occupation of Ihehttiil is iihout the most disadvaiflujicous arrangement that can he conceived in au economical point of view, and is perfectly d'-st rneti ve of any fce!intr "f propriety or home, it is strictly ill harmony with the instincts of a nomad tiiho, nii"l insures to each of its members at least an existence on a looting of perfect equality with his fellows. When in the course of time us tunny hands "have heett assigned to a?rncuitural lal?or as theluiid requires, mid there still remains a surplus ?f employable population in the serf village, certain of its members turn their attention to different handicraft*, but in all cases *vork for the commonwealth, which as-sures ilo-m nTstiwH their existence in and a provision for vtierr old age. Where largo amounts of work require to be contracted lor, the whole commit uitv, as represented by its (iolown, or chief, joins in security for the completion of the woik or the fulfilment of the various conditions attached!" it. Although it frequently happens that under this arrangement, nud favored by ansnicious eir cnnisl-iiiees, such ;is good harvests and 1111 erpiit: ule owner, i'c., these communities accumulate . oitltii. chiefly in their surplus agricultural produce, not only arc their individual members all V.'pt down to the average degree of poverty of the whole number, but their accumulated wealth remains unavailable for the purposes of further -economical improvement. In the interest of the St:it?. therefore, this feature of serfdom ai the ?-:"-t injurious to the economical development of thecountry calls most urgently for aholition. Another feature of serfdom in Itussia which ills the most loudly for aliolilion in the interests ?>r" humanity, and which wi'l prohalily l?c tho i:r.-l to he. abolished, is that called Ohm/: system. 'H,is obtains in cases who re domains, formerly ai. and with a large number of serfs allocated t.r. lliem. have, in the course of time, been sosplil ;:inl subdivided by sale or inheritances. that small portions of theni are to be found on whieh ten, live or even only three serfs arc inseribed. These pints of laud being too small, and the number of s-vrfs being too few to admit of agriculture being carried on there profitably, the owner either lets out his serfs for hire toother proprietors, or gives them I.is permission to follow any handicraft they may have learnt, and exercise any talent they po.-sess. on payment to him of an tihrnk, or I'oil lax. ll? lllis ease tlie ? builds a dwelling-house on the land tli.it the serfs ought to liave tilled, mid lives oil the oftroi they pay liiin out of the earnings tlioy make elsewhere.

There are. 1st, about 40,000 peasants who enny tlie usufruct of the htn<] 011 which they an inscribed on condition of their supplying horse? vehicles, and drivers for the posting traffic ; everj twenty-eiiilit mules supply one vehicle, thre< horses and a driver; they receive a small inoiict payment for the distance drivon, and their lain .s lice fioin any other obligation than the above There are about 120,000 peasants employe' in the forests of the State which supply timbe foi' the fleet.

This is evidently the "common e?ecage tenure' ?f the law hooks. 3.

In an arti- i(^ i ele on the same subject the Liverpool Pout says ag, , that th-re arc twenty times as many "niggers" in ^ j Africa as iu all the West India Islands and on jj( the American continent, and five hundred fold cei worse; that tlu-y are the most miserable of liuman beings?the most degraded of men ; that they have always been so; that the sun for six a | j thousand years, at least, hats looked down upon and luuiiil them not only ""black anil curly," hut the most dcbupeil nf slaves; that it was not the I'1" ( white inan that did this?ihe black man was the l tyrant. A transfer to the while man was bliss; bondage rceninincd?but bow different from ]jv ' chains imposed oil them on their native soil and 1,11 their origiunl dwelling place. The J'o*t again asks, "la there any hope for or the future?" which it answers, ''not if things are th allowed to remain as they nre. The aptitude of the negro for civilisation presents only individual ^ I examples; the mass have been savage. They are now savages in Africa. There is no use ar | questioning the fact?it is true. Brought within f'1 the contiol and influence of the white inan, it ^ i might be different?would be different; but or- w r dinary means will never overcome obstacles to T the exercise of that influence.

It wan for thi i, probably, that President Lopez, th : Secretary of State, M.

Lieut-. Page gives us the following infurit iperiling President Lopez: ' I beg leave of the department to iiiiliilj the expression of my opinion toiichin >ject. of this communication. The pr rsident I.ope/. has been wounded liV inj tiling to remove from under his tyrannic; ncricaiis whom lie determined to pen lie time longer.

Mr. Page recommends that. the "Comn tlie Iirii7.il station be instructed to proei nncioii, on hoard the Water Wiich, wit iubritlgc in tow." Such n course, he fel ent, would result in nn exchange of rul 11s. "There are some governments itch penceablc nnd friendly relations, it ii own. ran be maintained only by nn cxhil a sii(Tn:iui.t force, und a detcriiiiiialion t< I to no indignity." This experiment w;i ;d, mid the treaty has never been ratiiiei In February, I8;?r>, au unprovoked nnrl dly attack was made on the Water-V lib; sb<; was ill the peaceable and righifn irge of duty.

Lieut, l'uge says, in his report of the tra n: The Water-Witch was in the act of ex : a river which is the common houudar een these two countries. The right of navigate this river up to tho limit of tin: ce of Corrientes has never been questi cither, and I hail never hoard that 1'arn Burned to cxcrcisc the power of preventii I'igat ion. 'To the exploration of this portion o rann, I had not only obtained tlie perm I he Argentine Confederation, and espei the province of Corrientes, but exprcxsii nest solicitude on the. part of both the I it of the Confederation mul ?! rrit-ntrs had be made, that I hlimilil tutu : fact iliat the river is nnvagnble lo a i ater extent tlian that to which it is :>wil to he; of which they hud some hopt . the menus of proving."
