      RUSSIA . St . Petbksbcrgh , March 16 . —I informed you by my last lerter , dated 12 th ult .. that tbe Erappror Niccolaj had ordered an exterminating war to be waged against the Circassians ; to-day the Autocrat published an uka * e , by which he no : enly revoke * the promise made by the Government to grant certain immunities to the Russian settlers ia the colonies of Circassia , but forbids his subjects , under the most seTere penalties .

      to form any kind of establisBnaent in the country or to send thither their slave * . The * e two measures are pmerailj considered as a certain indication that the Czar has relinquished all hope o < srbjuzaring the Circassian ! , and that what he i < now doin ^ has no other object than that of injuring them as much as p ^ s >« ible , and therehr deterring other Caucasian tnbes Jrom following * tbeir example . In thi » , hawever , Nicholas will be deceived , for all those mountaineers hold tbe

      Russians in too grt-at an aversion to ever connect to undergo their yoke . The . autocrat intends shortly to signalize his rei ^ n by a new act of despoti « n . Hi * predecessor , tbe Emperor Alexander , had granted tbe free Livoaian ? , indiscriminately , tbe privilege of po *> es « i 3 g land belonging to tbe So . biliry . This concession excitine the displeasure of Nicholas , he has prevailed on several p «? r * onaees of the h : gh Nobility of the province to address to him a petition , ir which thev state to him that

      the great estates mnst be impaired from being ; n tbe hands of Comaoners , and entreat his M-je » ty to remedy an evil which raay ultimately prove fata ! to the country . Now , we are in daily expectation of aa uka * e , restoring to the Livonian Isobiiiry ihe privilege of possessing : txciusvt-iy tbe $ e grtai estate * , and in -m-toe of which the Comrcsners who now own t ' n ^ m will be obitaed , within a given time , to sell them to the Nobility , —Commerce .

Yesterday evening , at seven o ' clock , an investigation , which lasted until a late hour , took place at the "White Swan Tavern , Coleman-street , city , before Mr . Payne , the city coroner , and a hi ghly respectable jury , on view of the body of EUen B « rrick , aged 24 , whose death was alleged to have been caused by the unnatural and brutal treatment ot J ^ mes Eubeeon Berrick , her own brother , and Martha , his wife .

On one occasion witness saw Berrick knock the decem * .-d down , and afterwards beat her with a stick or strap iu a . violent manner . The poor young creatuie was afterwards thrown down atairn by tar unnatural

      sinter-in-law . Subsequent to tlie occasion in question , witness had opportunities of seeing Mrs . Berrick asiault the deceased in a most ferocious manner . On Saturday night last , witness heard screams and groans in the room in which the deceased slept . "Witness beard the brother say , " Give me the bonnet and shawl , and I will thrown her down stairs . " " Witness ' ' no alarmed that she threw some cinders at the window , hoping to deter Berrick from continuing bis brutal outrage towards his unfortunate M . ster . Oh the morning of tht previous day witness was informed that the deceased vsus dead .

      By a Juror . —On Saturday week last , I had a conversation with the deeea ^ il , who thea detailed to me a str . es of ill-treatment , which she . had experienced from her brother aud his wife ; at tht time she exhibited to me » everal severe bruises about ber person .

A number of other witne ^ e .-a were examined , all of whom spoke to the brutal usage which the unfortunate young woman had experienced fr .-m her unn . ifural brother and his wife .

      The Jury here intimated to the Coroner that they were satisfied from the evidence which had been laid bt-fure them that the deceased had b ^ eu the victim of unparalleled barbarity , and only required medical testimony to xatisfy their minds in deciding on their verdict . The Coroner concurred in the opinien of the Jury .

      GEBTEBAi OONVENTIOS " . Thursday , April \ th . Mr . Cat . no , Delegate from Marylebone , in the chair . GREAT CHARTIST MEETIXO AT STROUD , LEEDS . AND IlIUMlMiHAM . Letters were read from Mr . Fro ? t , which gave an account of his proceedings since he left London on Thursday . On that night he got to Gloucester , nud on Friday proceeded tol Siroiid to have ' a little serious conversation with little Finality's constituents . When he got there , he perceived the walls ot tbe town placarded with a notice of a public meeting . On getting into the town , he proceeded to the inn , where he fonnd the committee were . ¦

      rifting , and upon his annonu . cing himself , be whh hailed with three rounds of cheers . The people were assembling iu thousands , ia order to 40 to the place of meeting at Redboroogh Hill . As soon as the preliminary arrangements were concluded , the Committee , together with' the delegates from Cheltenham , Cirencester , Gloucester and other places , accompanied by the multitude , preceded by a most excellent baud of music , and beautiful and appropriate colours , went to the place appointed to hold the meeting . When they arrived" there , the view of th « assemblage was one ot" thf most beautiiul and interesting that could be imagined ; the hill teeming with living beings ; notless tlian ten thousand could be present . From the summit was a view of the

      beautiful and interesting valley of StroiH , with the fertile meadows , bordering the silvery Suvern immediately beneath and around you , and in the distances the blue hills of Monmouthshire , lending tbeir sombre outline to fill up the background ol the scrne ; indeed , so fine was the dav , and spirit-stirring the scene , that he fancied he could see his beloved home , and witness the nnxions watcliiogs of his own household , and of his neighbours for hl < return . Gathered around were a multitude of labourers and weavers , whose pale and heart-worn count- ^ nauces depicted that they lived in the most extreme poverty . The view of those poor creatures made bim philosophise ou the enormity of a system which could bring meii to such a stare of poverty and starvation , amid tbe abundance which reigned around them . Here , fce exclaimed , amidst tbe

      works ot nature and of art , in a most frnitl ' oi country , an abundance of every thing calculated to make fife easy , are beings without food or raiment ; and there sits ' Lord John Jlussell , t > . e patron of religions education societies , exerting all his powers to rep- ' er the situation of those beings miserable , who raise the food and produce the raiment . Eight shillings per week is the average wages , out of which taps to be paid reduce the real'incorae to only four shillings . The learned and very pious Secretary of State receives £ 6 , 000 and perquisites for filling , no , uot filling , but doing the work , and dirty work it is , of his office . His lordship quarters himself on six hundred of these poor beart-broken weavers , who , amid their own destitution and poverty , must contribute to hiss support the naif of their scanty earnings—to give a moiety of their meagre sustenance

      Untitled Article

      to support him in the lap of lnxnry . The system which allows this must be one that all onght to revere ! ! ! Would it not be a good plan if hi » lordshi p and his colleagues were to go about and collect th « ir own salaries , and to get them in kind as tithes were formerly obtained ? How plensing it would be to see this scion of the house of Bedford accompanied by Cupid , going among the shopkeepers and others st-ekintr for the means of support , « nd re * turning with their wallets loaded with the miscellaneous produce of their day ' s toil—tea-and Migar , rolls of butter , pieces of-sonp , and meiit , < fec , ' to crave a bTt > 'Akfs \ sitfrom one puor weaver , and a dinner from another . If this were so , would his lordship s ^« the thinte in its true colours ? Then would

      hiinfelf and Cui » id tin ! out tlmt they were actually swallowing ] . 200 weavers alive . Can the patience of God sutler this to last much longer ? The chair was taken by a working man , who stated the object " of the meeting in a short and sensible speech . The first resolution , which was of confidence in the Convention , parsed with , enthusiasm . The second , appointing the writer ( Mr . Frost ) to represent the industrious classes of thac neighbourhood , was also carried unanimously . If Lord John Russell heard the shouts with which this resolution was carried , be would that " Othello's occupution was gone . " In speaking to it , he told the people of of Strotid that on his return to London ne would send a copy of it to his Lordship , and challenge , his to

      Lordship meet th « people of Stroud in his presence , wh'n he would repeHt all the charges which he then made , iu order that they might test his Lordship ' s fitness to be kheir representative , and should liis Lordship refuse to do so , he would consider himself their true representative , and leave Lord J . Russell to represent the lour manufacturers of that place , if they could again ihrnst him forward as the representative of the electors and inhabitants of Stroud . He gave the history of the causes of the great distress of the people , ind tbe means to be adopted to remedy that distress . Of the opinions and principles of Lurd J . Russell , befoTe he attained oflire , and how much those opinions were changed in consequence of receiving the pay for official duty—in hi- " conduct in the hateful and tyrani . ic Irish Coircion Billin

      - —regard to the Russian loan , wbic ' i empowered that country to enslave the Polish l eo ^ lt' —in the despotism used to w ; irds the Dorchester labourers in the Calthorpe-strt-et aHair ; n ^ d last , though not least , in his conduct on the xWw Poor Law Amendment Act . He gave , them the historv of the Pour Laws , and of th » rapncioiis courtiers of Henry the Eighth , among whom w ^ s a Mr . Russell , the ancestor of Lord Jo > m , who was rewarded by V an monarch for his subserviency hy obtaining the confiscated properly ot the church and poor . a . < witness Woburn Abbey , Tavistock Priory , Cov « nt Gaiden , and other properties ; how the members o ! Kd . ward the Sixth ' s Parliament made laws to rob the poor and the church , to enrich themselves , tie then spoke of the nii .-erie- euti . iK d on the people by the New Poor Law . His andienro wan m . wt

      attentive , and he thought Lord J . Ru * sh 11 would have much trouble to wipe away the impression which he hud made . He then alluded to bin intention of becoming a candidate for Stroud , which announcement was responded to with deafening shouts ; and he received promises of support Irom a gr-at many electors . He gave a historv if his dismissal from Ihe mngistfacy " , because oi ii < uiiieuendenee , and concluded this part oi In epistle by stating that a vote of censure was passed on the Government , and on Lord John Ros-sell iu particular , for their conduct in regard to the happh ^ s and wisruv of the . nation ; and then went on to describe the great success ot the

      Chanti-t cause in Monnmntbshire « n-i Gloncest-Miire .
