RUSSIA.
Count Schouvalofi' is designated Gover-nor-General of Moscow. The Nihilist agitation has produced a new effect, as the peasants being covertly informed that the Czar had by ukase directed the landed proprietors to divide their estates umong the tillers of the soil, and became impatient to have the supposed order carried into effect, and rows are being stirred up in every direction. , On the Schouvaloff estate they seized the castle, sacked it, and expelled all the servants. The rioters ! are said to have been fully armed. Popular indignation in St. Petersburg at the recent attempt on the Czar's life has altogether died out on account of the reactionary measures of ■ the Government.
Russia is equipping a large army in the face of her peaceful profession. The towns of Russians in Poland are filled with well-armed troops.
