A RUSSIAN NOVELTST AND THE PRINCE OF WALES.
- = Anovel just published in Russia has created considerable sensation in that country. The future King of England, is, under a transparent ,yeil, introduced amongst tho characters of the book, and is, in insulting terms, described with raueh detail for the Russian reader as a' spacies of highly educated animal, the slave of a passion for pleasure. His visit to St. Petersburg on the occasion of his brother's wedding is described by the mouth of one of the characters of the hovel who was attached, to his suite on the part of the Czar during his stay in St. Petersburgh. As everybody knows -the censorship of the Press in Russia is one of the most arbitrary in the world —nothing may be printed save what pleases the Government, and the inference, is that this coarse and insulting treatment of the Piince of Wales is not wholly distasteful in high places in Russia.
