We take pleasure ia informing the public that Mr. C., will, in a few days, be in rcceipt of his stock of spring and summer goods. Our merchants generally design doing a large business during the coming 6cason, and Mr. C., we venture to say, will not bo behind any of them. Ilis stock we understand has been selected with great care, and will be sold at fair and standard prices. We recommend our readers to give him a call, as we are satisfied, from the quality of his goods together with the moral uprightness of the man, that thoy will be tnablcd to make excellent bargains.

tts&~The weather for the last two weeks has been decidedly cool, and what an Esquimaux Indian would call salubrious. We understand that the wheat has materially suffered during the last week, and fears are expressed that if the present severe weather continues, the crop will be entirely destroyed. The immense flocks of geese and ducks, whicn passed over the town some three weeks since on their way north, and which were regarded by the weather seers as the precursor of genial spring, have winged their way back to the sunny south. This season will long be remembered for the severity of its winter and •the backwardness of its spring.

A MILE OP PIGEONS.—The Tenre Haute American Bays that the country thereabouts is literally swarming with wild pigeon?. On the evening of the 9th, about 5 o'clock, a flock near a mile in length by about sixty feet deep, passed directly over the city, making a noise audible at a great distance.

It appears from this table that the hereditary Grand Duke, who now succeeds his father Nicholas, is at present thirty-seven years of age. We copy the following interesting description of his personal appearance from the entertaining work on Russia by the Marquis de Custine, who met him at a watering place in Germany, fourteen or fifteen years ago:-

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT POLAND.

In the last number of the North British Review are some interesting speculations on the condition and prospects of Europe. We give an extract relating to Poland which contains two important ideas— 1. That the Poles are incapable of forming a government for themselves. 2. That Austria is thinking of the resus

citation of Poland. We hate to entertain the thought that the gallant Poles have so little nationality, and are so humilated, as not to be able to take care of themselves, even if external pres-

dreds of poor fellows idling around the Exchange in hopes of obtaining a chance job. Considerable liberality had been displayed by the citizens, and about £3,000 were subscribed. Relief stores were opened in various parts of the town, and tickets, entitling the holders to bread and coals, were freely distributed. The conduct of the unemployed was, almost without exception, peaceable and praiseworthy, although want was so great vhat instances had occurred where men actually fainted from hunger, and fell on the street. The bulk of these really industrious classes bore up bravely in the hope of an early return to labor.— However, on Tuesday, the 20th, great agitation was observable in the Scotland Road, one of the lowest and most disreputable quarters of tho town. By degrees, the excitement swelled into the dimensions of a riot. Bands of the discontented marched out into various parts of the town, and caused the greatest consternation to the citizens. The stores along the principal thorough-fares were immediately closed— the jewelers and silversmiths first, next the cutlers and gunsmiths, and finally the entire trade of the town was suspended.— These bands of marauders varied in number from 50 to nearly 1,000 but contained a considerable proportion of women and lads. They seemed to have no sort of organization, nor any definite object in view. At first they rushed turaultuously into the bakers' shops, fweuty or thirty of which were •stormed and plundered. They also demanded and received money from various other storekeepers. An attack was made on St. John's market, but the gates were closed, and the police beat of! the besiegers. Toward evening the town resumed its wonted appearance. An extra force of special constables was sworn in, and a number of the ordinary police were armed and mounted. Sixty prisoners were taken, and were summarily sentenced by the Police Courts to terms of hard labor varying from a week to three months.

Next day, Wednesday, the 21st, the disturbances were resumed. The same scenes again occurred the provision shops were attacked, the police made successful skirmishes and captured many of the rioters.— The store? were closed durin'/ art of the day, but, from the report of our,correspondent, who took occasion personally to witness the "riots," this was a precaution quite unnecessary. The police were at all limes more than a match for the mob. Since the 21st, all had remained perfectly quiet.

Similar disturbances, but on a smaller scale, too place in London. Bands of men and boys levied contributions'on the storekeepers, till the interference^ of the police stopped the enterprise. lhe report from Manchester is less unfavorable than from Liverpool, but it shows distress. The severe frost had closed the canals, and the workmen dependeut on traffic were compelled to apply to the Workhouse. Some hundred railway porters had been discharged from lack of work mills are beginning to work on time."

At Birmingham the state of the poor is very distressing. Nine thousand workmen are out of employmentjn the town of Birmingham alone, and a proportionate number in the neighboring parishes. Notice has been given to the ironworkers, that a reduction of wages can be no longer delayed. Numbers of the needlemakers of Redditch are without work. The watch tiade

STATEMENT OF THE LONDON STANDARD The Government have this afternoon, (T rid ay, March 2d,) received telegraphic dispatches from the Hague and Berlin, ,a» also from the British Minister at the Hague, stating that the EmpeTor of Russia had died this forenoon between twelve and ono clock, of apoplexy, after an attack of influenza.

lhe Earl of Clarandon in the House of Commons, made tho communications to the members of their respective Houses, amid the most profound silence.

Lord John Russell had previously, this morning sent a telegraphic message from Berlin, informing the British Government, that the Emperor of Russia was at tho point of death, and that his Majesty has taken leave of his family.

The Emperor's decease, must) no doubt, exercise an important and immediate influence upon the war and upon the negotiations for peace, now being carried on at Vienna.

I here can be no doubt of the authentic* ity of this intelligence, as the information has also been transmitted to the British Government from Bucharest and Vienna.

EIKPEROR AT KOLOUGNE.

BOLOUGNK, Thursday, 5 o'clock, The Emperor of the French has this moment arrived at the Imperial Pavillion Hotel, from the camp at St. Oraer.

The following private telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris: IIAMBURO, Feb. 28.

Russians had formed corps of Greek volunteers at Odessa, under the command of Chrysoveris, and carrying at their head tho orthodox standard. They will be employed in the Crimea.

The Bulgarian volunteers have been sent toward the Danube.

He will go at the end of this week or at the beginning of next.— He will be escorted by the Cent Gardes, the Guides, and the gendarmes of the Imperial Guard. Some of these corps have already received their orders. It is further affirmed that tho Empress goes with him.

niile beyond, as densely built and populated as are Lhe same streets within tho. city—nor can the stranger visiting here tell, where the line is, as there is nothing to" mark it, except perhaps the gas lamps, that" only go to the limits.

Let it boils not Kansav nd Nebraska^ St. Louis adds States. to her empire, without effort, by the laws of Nature. Other citizens strain their nerves to make counties tributary to them. That i»| the difference between St. Louis and any oll:er city.

The circumstances and causes we hava thus briefly canvassed, arc infusing new lifa'V and vigor into St. Louis. Hence it is, that^ no dwelling houses can be had for love orr money, such as the good classes of peoplev coming here wish to live in. Hence it-i» that Real Estate, all through the crfy, is rising. Hence it is that rent« are coming* up always, and never .going down. And? hence it is that no man, wishing to get a* foo'.hold in St. Louis a*nd to see growing up around him, the greatest inland city on thes continent, should not loose one day in planting himself and his fortunes in St. Louis,5 and taking up for himself such real estat*. interests as he thinks he will need.
